The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coloradoinnovationnetwork.com\" title=\"COIN - Colorado Innovation Network Homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Colorado Innovation Network (COIN)<\/a> is giving away $50,000 in their Glorious Failure Challenge &#8211; In Search of Success.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nOnce a geologist. Once an entrepreneur. Once a mayor. This is Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re Coloradans and we do not shy away from a challenge.  We\u2019re risk takers.<\/p>\n<p>Not just because we are pioneers, cowboys, skiers and rock climbers.<br \/>\n&#8230;but because we are entrepreneurs, industry leaders and INNOVATORS.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation is a spirit and style fostered and propelled by bold, courageous and strategic risk taking.  It\u2019s a mentality, and an attitude.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s turning roadblocks into building blocks  and obstacles &#8211; even glorious failures &#8211; into opportunity. It\u2019s eternal perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>The INTEGRITY of a glorious failure is in the learning, adapting, and pivoting.  All of this affords and fuels innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Like myself, Colorado has a history of entrepreneurs who have turned challenges, even failures, into success.  What\u2019s YOUR story of GLORIOUS FAILURE?  Are you an entrepreneur with a high-growth-potential idea?<\/p>\n<p>Submit your story of glorious failure and innovation, and you could be awarded the Colorado Innovation Network\u2019s innovation prize.<\/p>\n<p>Finalists, as selected by the community and a panel of expert judges will receive recognition at the 2013 COIN Summit and an awards package, with the overall winner receiving Fifty thousand dollars in cash!<\/p>\n<p>We need your submissions and your votes. So spread the word about the Innovation Challenge!<\/p>\n<p>YOU are the future of innovation in Colorado.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations to Mr. Dave Momper for his <a href=\"http:\/\/postmodernco.com\" title=\"Denver Post Modern Company Homepage\" target=\"_blank\">Post Modern<\/a> contribution to this project and for sharing this awesomeness with me.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.coloradoinnovationnetwork.com\/programs-initiatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Don't Fail to Innovate - or Fail to Enter\">Enter the Glorious Failure: In Search of Success Innovation Challenge<\/a>] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[VimeeeeeO]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2118,289,618,26,1080,3,502,6],"tags":[2704,1157,2388,2703,2702],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2oCe7-2as","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8336"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8336"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8346,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8336\/revisions\/8346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
