A number of other companies – including SmartWool, a Steamboat Springs-based manufacturer that has a design center at 1637 28th St.; Solekai Systems Corp., a San Diego-based digital video engineering consulting company that is moving its Boulder office from 1601 Pearl St. to 2440 14th St.; and Rally Software Development Inc., which recently moved from downtown Boulder to 3333 Walnut St. – have all inquired or indicated they will apply for flexible rebate funds, Hanson said.

One company, Umbria Inc., a market research software and services company, has been approved to receive $600 in matching funds for employee training under the city of Boulder’s pilot business incentive program.

Funds were granted for an Umbria employee to attend Certified ScrumMaster Training, provided by Rally Software.

Umbria will receive the funds when training is completed and a receipt showing full payment of the course is submitted to the city.
