The organization said it chose Denver for its booming technology and start-up industry as well as the growing number of investment opportunities in the area.

“In 2015, multiple technology companies selected Denver as their headquarters, demonstrating how companies are taking advantage of the city’s highly intelligent workforce,” said Jonathan Kempner, president of TIGER 21. “We noticed these expansions and the booming Colorado economy, and we knew Denver was the next logical expansion for TIGER 21.”

“Forbes recently ranked Denver at the top of its ‘Best Places for Business and Careers’ list. I’ve been involved with several Colorado start-ups and business initiatives and am excited that TIGER 21 has expanded to this city,” added Johnson.

For the past three years, Johnson has led investor relations and coordinated fundraising activity at Innosphere, a Colorado-based non-profit technology incubator for start-ups in cleantech, software, biosciences and digital health. He also co-founded Actuator and currently serves on the regional development committee for the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado.

TIGER 21 is headquartered in New York City and has groups in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newport Beach, CA, Palm Beach, San Diego, San Francisco, San Juan, PR, Seattle, Tysons Corner, VA, and Washington, DC as well as Canadian groups in Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Earlier this year, Family Wealth Report spoke to the organization about how it has evolved in recent years as well as industry trends that have transpired in conversation among its elite member base, and how changing member demographics reflect shifts in investor mentality.
