Who is the REAL consortium?

Community and business leaders collaborating to optimize their service offerings;  a coalition of those willing to help entrepreneurs to navigate the various options available to successfully launch and grow sustainable businesses.

REAL Represents a Change of Culture in the Business Community

The ideal is to work collaboratively as businesses services organizations.  Our members are required to articulate what their core competencies are and how they stand to better serve the entrepreneurial community.

REAL's Core Values

Inclusiveness, diversity, and flexibility. 

• REAL serves entrepreneurs of all types, it is inclusive to include anyone who chooses to participate. 
• Member organizations represent a wide diversity in products and services. 
• REAL core members represent different organizational interests.  You benefit from the flexibility to pick and choose the right services for your needs.

The Common Goal of Alliance Members

REAL was founded in 2011 to combat economic pressures due to recession, reverse the trend of relatively few businesses headquartered in Colorado Springs, and counteract the effects of reductions in federal Department of Defense spending.
