First off, as a Colorado resident with a startup - this is great! There are a few points that make it not so great:
You can only have investors from colorado, to a company formed in colorado and 80% of the investment has to be spent in colorado.
Still this is a move in the right direction, and I hope it helps some of my CO-based peers get off the ground.

- mooreds 11y agoI think that these constraints (at least the investors being in CO) is due to SEC rules. I read Locavesting ( http://locavesting.blogspot.com/p/about-locavesting.html http://locavesting.blogspot.com/p/about-locavesting.html ) a while ago and seem to remember that state regulated stock exchanges operate under a different set of rules.
