There are places all around the University of Colorado for like-minded students to get together and work on specific projects, but nowhere for budding entrepreneurs to collaborate.

That changes later this month, when Spark Boulder opens as a new co-working space for CU students and community members.

"When students want to be in a play, they all gather in a theater," said Spark Boulder co-founder Ben Buie. "You know the other students at the theater want to do the same things and learn the same things. There are spaces like that all over campus for engineering students, for every type of student, but there was no space for students who want to start a business. There's not a place anywhere else like this."
