Colorado startups raised a total of $77 million in February.

According to a tally of Form D filings with the SEC, startups in Denver accounted for $25.5 million of that figure, while Boulder startups took in $17.7 million. Young companies elsewhere in the state raised $33.5 million.

BusinessDen defines a startup as a company that is 10 years old or younger, and excludes publicly traded companies, real estate ventures and funds.

February’s haul is well above the $40.7 million that Colorado startups raised in February 2017.

Including non-startup companies, Colorado businesses raised $566 million in February, according to filings.
