I got a powerful taste of datablindness recently, as I’ve started to work with various large companies as partners in setting up events, speeches, and other products to sell around the Lean Startup concept.

As a result, the companies get a lot of exposure to VCs, investors, and partners in larger, more traditional startup hubs. And they expose the startups to a vast network of mentors, none of whom get paid for their involvement. Some of the mentors are based in Boulder, but many are not.
