DENVER – Ten up and coming companies have graduated from CU Denver’s Smart Futures Lab, an incubator that helps get small, tech-minded businesses off the ground. “We want the best companies to come here to Colorado, and we try to bring them into our ecosystem to introduce to our faculty, to our staff, and then also to our cities, and bringing those solutions here,” said Dan Griner, director of the Smart Futures Lab. “We’re really continually amazed by the imagination and the variety of the people that are applying to our program.”
