Bold rec

For the slide: use the 25-name grid + headshots if you have them — logos were a 2015 flex. For MM: lock Feld + Lachlan first (already on guest list), then Cohen/Nies/Saldana as the “prove Boulder still prints” block. Swap Spencer for whoever in your Clay Boulder list says yes fastest — seat 25 is density, not dogma.

Top 10 founders in network who list Boulder

Query: “Top 10 founders who live in Boulder, CO currently?” — Nexus graph pull (not the Dream 25 ecosystem list).

#	Person	Role / company

Notes

#1 Lachlan Patterson and #7 Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson look like the same person (Scarpetta / Frasca). Treat as one seat unless Nexus closeness ranking says otherwise. Overlap with Dream 25: Lachlan is already Tier A on Tab 1 — this tab is the warmer/closer graph set (Baby Bathwater, Kindara, Suite Studios, etc.).
