Silicon Mountain, also known as the "Silicon Flatirons" is a nickname given to the tech hub in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area and Colorado Springs, Colorado metropolitan area. The name is analogous to Silicon Valley, but refers to the Rocky Mountains beyond the skyline. Denver startups raised $401 million in 2015, and Boulder startups raised $183 million in 2015.[1][2]
