The co-founder of Techstars small business accelerator purchased a $7.2 million property in Boulder last month, making it the area’s highest-priced home sale in October.

David Cohen, who co-founded Boulder-based Techstars in 2006, and his wife Jil Nesbit Cohen bought the newly remodeled residence along Tamarack Avenue from C.P. and Brooke Smith on Oct. 9, according to property records.

Techstars is a three-month program that aims to give startup founders momentum through mentoring, networking and access to funding. Since hosting its first event in 2007, the seed accelerator has accepted 2,157 startups into its programs with a combined market capitalization of $9.3 billion, according to its website.

The 7,254-square-foot home with five beds and five baths in northeast Boulder sits on nearly one acre. The Smiths purchased the property for $2.2 million, as well as the adjacent lot for $460,000 in 2016, according to property records.

“They knocked down the property … and made a nice, stately yard,” said listing agent Brian Delaney with Boulder-based Delaney Realty Group.

The remodel of the home was designed by Boulder-based TRH Design and completed by Rosewood Construction in 2019, Delaney added. The property, which offers a private setting near Four Mile Creek, features an outdoor saltwater pool, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the open floor plan and a 2,100-square-foot basement.

“You kind of feel like you’re on a rural luxury farm, except you’re in town with Flat Iron views,” Delaney said.

Jennifer Egbert with Milehimodern represented the Cohens.
