Arvada-based CEAVCO provides video, audio, lighting and creative services for conferences, galas and other productions. The team of 36 works behind the scenes at about 350 events a year. One big event this year was Side Stories, a large-format film installation that projected digital works from 10 Colorado artists onto exterior walls in the River North (RiNo) neighborhood of Denver. A short film showcase took place every evening from Feb. 21 through March 2, with the 10 short films running on a loop.

BEST IT SERVICES

LIVE CONSULTING IT SUPPORT

Since 2004, Live Consulting has prided itself on providing enterprise grade solutions scaled down to the small business. 

"Small businesses deserve the same uptime and solutions that the enterprise group does, with a price that scales to their size," managing partner Nick Nyberg says. "Small businesses are always surprised to hear that we have unlimited support included in our package, that we give them the firewall they need, we give them the anti-virus software, we give them everything to become a standardized company under our protection."

He adds that Live wants customers for life, so it offers month-to-month contracts and earns their business every month. Account managers meet with customers monthly, if they want, and do quarterly business reviews to show them the state of their network.

BEST MOBILE APP

BLINKER

Blinker Inc.'s used-car sales app, launched two years ago, lets people take a picture of a car with their mobile phones, get that specific vehicle's value and then post an add on Blinker to sell it. The app also can pre-approve car buyers for financing, allowing them to see exactly what the monthly payment would be on thousands of cars in the marketplace. The Denver-based company recently expanded beyond the Colorado and Texas markets where it debuted into two of the largest U.S. states for car sales – California and Florida.
