3. Julota
Founded: 2015
Also honored in: 2020 Best Tech Startups in Colorado Springs
“Julota is a consent and technology infrastructure that allows community care organizations to communicate with each other using their current software platforms. In other words, we connect ePCRs, EMRs and any other software platform that any organization in the community might be using, including law enforcement and behavior health.

4. Porchlight
Founded: 2018
“Imagine if Facebook was limited to the people that matter most in your life and, instead of your data being sold to companies that want to sell you stuff, your data was used to help you live the healthy, happy life you want. That’s Porchlight, a private social media platform dedicated to your health and happiness. It’s new. It’s the next big thing.
At Porchlight we believe there’s a missing digital platform. Facebook and other fill our every public social need. LinkedIn is where the business world networks. The most important dimension of our life, our personal life, has yet to benefit from the power of modern peer-peer networks. That is until now.
Once the Porchlight network develops scale it will change the way health and healthcare impact our lifestyle. The right healthy guidance will find people in their daily lives when they need it. This is the key to the healthcare cost and access crisis in America. If you’ve read this far then we need talk, call me (Steve Peterschmidt, Founder/CEO). Let’s change the world!”
