CCP recently got an insider's look at the new Denver office space for our client, oVertone.

oVertone is a hair-care company company that specializes in products for colored hair.

They were kind enough to show us through their office, which includes areas for styling and shampooing hair, creating videos and collaborating comfortably. 

Column Commercial Partners Managing Broker Matt Brower recently sat down with Pascal Wagner, founder of Walkthrough, to learn more about how the growing tech company got its start and how it’s revolutionizing the real estate market.

 Walkthrough is a platform that enables people to create high-end real estate marketing materials using their smartphones. It teaches customers how to take professional-grade photos without the professional-grade equipment, potentially saving them hundreds of dollars in marketing expenses. Since its founding in 2016, the company has grown exponentially, and mainly by word of mouth.

 Now, the company is embarking on its next chapter of growth in the midst of participating in a highly competitive accelerator program with Techstars Boulder.

It’s time for the next installment of our series focusing on successful entrepreneurs and innovators across Colorado.

By sharing the experiences and lessons learned from these forward-thinking industry trailblazers, we hope that aspiring business leaders come away inspired to launch new projects and processes within their own companies and startups.

Our next interview is with Jennifer Panning, the chief financial officer of Apto. Apto is a web-based software company providing the commercial real estate industry with a simpler way to manage contacts, properties, listings and deals.
