I like COTech
Or Rocky Tech Renge, ah, maybe not.

On the topic of nomenclature: nothing wrong with trying to brand our regional tech community for the sake of promotion, sharing, community, and recognition. Maybe this is an elusive category, but I think we all win if we can make the Colorado Rockies a place to rock out–tech style.

My ideas:
Clorado Technology Corridor
-or-
COTechCorr

Purple Mountain Tech Region

A reference to “America the Beautiful”

Not to troll, but aren't the only names that stick the ones that emerge naturally from the noise? By egging people on for this "contest", it seems like we'll be having the same rebranding contest in 2019 when we discover that all the "startups" we've launched here are no longer in their "startup" phase.

I'll stick to calling it the Republic.

[...] There’s a discussion going on right now about coming up with a name for Colorado’s Internet scene. Rocky Radar is leading the charge and wrote a post asking for names. [...]

Scott, I appreciate your post as well as the history lesson on Silicon Valley. I will admit to being a "booster" of Colorado technology – proudly – yet am confused by your interpretation of our motivation. This is not an effort to make our economy "super-dooper fabulous" but an attempt to replace the name 'ICT Sector' when discussing our tech community with potential out-of-state investors. Thanks again for the comment.

With many companies now either in Boulder, in btwn Boulder/Denver, at DTC and the new development in Aurora, it doesn't make sense to have a city name used. And the use of Silicon is definitely unoriginal.

Mile High Tech Region
Front Range Tech Corridor
RidgeTech Region

or not tech related:
Peakview Valley
Mountain West Valley
