It is always nice to be able to write about a successful Colorado startup, but it is extra special if I get to participate.  :)  One of my portfolio companies, Routesmith, was recently purchased by Runzheimer, and I wanted to say congratulations to the founders, Matt and Jeff, for a job well done.  These guys […]
