There was multi-camera video being streamed within the campus building, and we were told that it will be available as an archive. We will update this post if video surfaces.
Tyler Tysdal, Managing Director of Mantucket Capital, joined Brad Feld and Brad Bernthal at CU's Atlas building for Entrepreneurs Unplugged, an ongoing Silicon-Flatirons event. Tyler talked about his past experiences which started with investment banking firm Alex. Brown & Sons. The storytelling gets very interesting when Tyler explains how he learned the process of due diligence from his business partners who embezzled several million dollars and committed bank fraud. This lead to Tyler's 100% entrepreneur stage i.e. wear all the hats - do everything, where he started five health care companies, Sports Shares, a fractional luxury suite club, various real estate investments and other "alternative investing".
We had some technical difficulties with our recording and only managed to get the first half off the event, which is unfortunate since there was much more great information flowing from both Tyler and Brad Feld. We felt it was worth posting the roughly 30-minutes of audio that did turn out.

Automatic is the company behind Wordpress. Tom is a serial entrepreneur with a history of founding and leading startups and mentoring other entrepreneurs. As the title suggests, Tom's talk focused on connecting with your customers. In this video Tom talks about the history of Intense Debate from his perspective. Tom breaks down various methods of traditional advertising and stresses the importance of word of mouth advertising and the need for "raving fans" talking abut your product. Our recording suffered in terms of audio quality so we decided to only make a couple of video clips available.
