OpportunityGoal Diggers
Your Industry. Your Seat. Your Referrals.
Goal Diggers is the DenverIS referral networking group, and it’s open to all business owners.
Each industry gets one seat. When a member hears that someone needs what you do, there’s one person to send them to: you.
We meet the 1st Tuesday of each month at 3:30 PM at On the Rox in Parker. Visit up to two meetings free before you decide.
Open seats right now: Roofing, Marketing and Finance.
The only one in the room who does what you do.
Tactical Llamas
A Free Wednesday Meetup for Veterans in Business.
Tactical Llamas is our free weekly meetup for veteran business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals.
Every Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Topgolf Centennial. Tactical Llamas covers the bays, and there’s no fee and no membership.
Register for the Wednesday you’re coming, show up, and meet veterans who get it. You don’t need to be good at golf.
Food and drinks are on you. The bays are on us.
Relationships first. No pitches, no pressure.
Government Contracting
Stop Guessing. Start Winning Contracts.
Government contracting isn’t reserved for massive corporations. It’s dominated by those who understand the system.
We teach small businesses how to break into federal, state, and local contracts using real-world strategies, not recycled theory.
Built from experience. Proven in the field.
Training designed to turn confusion into contract-ready action.
Who This Is For
Who This Is For
We work with business owners who are serious about building, executing, and growing through strategic relationships and contracts.
Who This Is Not For
Who This Is NOT For
This isn’t for everyone, and that is exactly what protects the value of the room.
If you’re looking for casual networking, this isn’t it.
About DenverIS
Built by Veterans Who Still Operate
DenverIS is veteran-led and built on discipline, execution, and what it takes to win. It is owned and run by three U.S. Army veterans: Brian Johnson, Jim Franklin, and Watik Aleem.
This isn’t theory. This isn’t corporate training.
This is real-world experience from business owners who have built companies, secured contracts, and created opportunities, then brought that knowledge back to the Veteran community.
Business Operators
Built around proven execution, not motivational language or theory-heavy workshops.
Contract Experience
A serious offer for founders who want better positioning and stronger opportunities.
Professional. Disciplined. Built for people who still want to win.
DenverIS is a Denver Networking In Action (NIA) franchise: structured referral networking, business coaching, and government contracting training under one roof.
Final Call To Action
Access Is Earned.
If you’re serious about growing your business, building real relationships, and stepping into bigger opportunities, then it’s time to apply.
If not, there are plenty of other groups out there.
