RE:Colorado Companies to Watch (CCTW) Business Visits
Purpose: Invitation to Council to attend Colorado Companies to Watch (CCTW) Fort Collins winners.
Background: Colorado Companies to Watch (CCTW) is a statewide awards program recognizing growing
companies that fuel the economic fire of the state. This year five Fort Collins companies have been named 2022
CCTW winners, including:
Journey Payroll

Turbo Tenant
These companies represent Colorado’s most innovative, visionary, job-creating second-stage entrepreneurs,
actively growing their business and expanding their network. CCTW is celebrating its 13th year with 650 winning
companies that have gone on to create over $3 billion in revenue and thousands of full-time jobs throughout
Colorado. Some previous Fort Collins winners include, Odell’s Brewing, Otterbox, Niner Bikes, Nosh NoCo, and
many others, and many of which received this recognition during their early stages.
The CCTW supports winners with a full year of marketing support, events & networking opportunities, and
valuable business opportunities such as meeting local City leadership.
Invitation: The Economic Health Office (EHO) supports CCTW by nominating Fort Collins businesses to apply and
fostering relationships amongst the winning companies and the City, including City leadership. Interim City
Manager Kelly DiMartino and EHO have scheduled visits with each winner and would like to extend an invitation
to the Mayor and Councilmembers. The visits are optional and would provide an opportunity to meet and learn
more about the business.
