The Term Sheet: Startup funding roundup for June

[Slideshow "term-sheet-june-2017" not found]

Medical device companies – from instruments that measure muscle health to a needle-less vaccine injector – were just some of the businesses biting off a piece of $257 million raised by Colorado companies in June.

In BusinessDen’s most recent tally of startup funding, the first month of summer brought in $62.6 million for startups statewide, $20 million more than the same period last year.

Denver startups led the funding with $26.6 million, while Boulder startups received $17.2 million. The rest of the state’s young firms had $18.8 million in investment.

BusinessDen defines a startup as a company that’s less than 10 years old and excludes funds or real estate companies. For a downloadable spreadsheet of June’s term sheet, click here.

Nearly one-third of Denver’s startup funding is thanks to Notion, which makes small devices monitoring motion, temperature and other home safety measures. The startup raised $10 million in June.
