DENVER__John Wren announced today the formation of the new Denver Startup Forum to connect people and exchange ideas and experience about how to start a new career, campaign or new business. For more information contact John Wren at [email protected] or (303) 861-1447. Wren has hosted the weekly Denver IDEA Café startup workshop for over 10 years.

“Successful people like Ben Franklin have always known that it's impossible to something new without help. For instance, I tell people starting a new business to check out their idea with a good accountant. An accountant can't tell you whether or not you have a good idea, in our economy the market sorts that out. But he or she can quickly chart the financial implications and let you know if you need to see a lawyer,” said Wren. “This new group will help connect people starting in a new direction with the help they need, when they need it, to be successful in today's world.”

Free membership in the new group is open to all entrepreneurs, business owners, and CEOs as well as public accountants, lawyers, consultants, and people who are interested in entering these fields. Representatives from organizations such as chambers of commerce, schools, colleges and government programs that have a special interest in entrepreneurship and startup are also welcome.

The group will have a weekly luncheon meeting for sharing startup experience, information, and research. A video of the speaker each week will be posted online for members at http://denverstartupforum.ning.com/
