Glider

Glider, the parent organization for Ignite Boulder, TEDxBoulder, Boulder Tech Podcast, and Boulder Startup Week was founded in 2017. Since 2008, we’ve wanted to create Glider. After growing our events and working with community members, we decided there was no better time to start than now. With our 501(c)3 certification, we plan to accelerate our operations and build more events. Our mission is to foster meaningful connection. Radical inclusion is integral to that mission, and it’s woven into our DNA. We believe it is the path to genuine, meaningful relationships. That’s why every single event we create will be open to all. Andrew Hyde first organized Ignite Boulder in 2009 and has been focused on building the Boulder community ever since. With a strong team of volunteers around him, he’s helped bring Glider to where it is now.
