Episode 070: Dave Mayer, Founder/CEO, Technical Integrity
 
This is our first episode for 2020’s Boulder Startup Week. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s startup week will, like most events these days, take place virtually. We won’t be doing as many interviews as we have the past two years, and will miss seeing everyone in person, but look forward to catching as many of the online sessions as we can. For more info and a full schedule, visit boulderstartupweek.com.
Our guest today is Dave Mayer, Founder and CEO at Technical Integrity. We talk about:
- recruitment for startups
- how the notoriously grinding startup lifestyle is changing
- founders and mental health
- the impact of COVID-19 on, well, everything.
Follow Dave on Twitter @tintegrity.

Today, I speak with Chip, CEO of the Downtown Boulder Partnership. We discuss what the Partnership is doing to support downtown businesses — and their employees — in this time of virus, and get into some of the questions about what we might expect to see as things begin to loosen up in Colorado and beyond.

Now that we’re locked down for awhile and adapting to new ways of doing business and, more broadly, just living, the Boulder Tech Podcast has retooled to be a platform for quick-hit-and-publish interviews w/local tech companies (and anyone really) that are refocusing their efforts to support the community during the Coronavirus crisis.
We’re looking to speak with as many people as we can and release the interviews as quickly as we can turn them around.
