Bevel HR runs the people function for Boulder companies with 10–75 employees, compliance, onboarding, payroll, and employee relations, so founders can get back to the business. Senior HR and people & culture support, starting at $1,800/month.
We work with climate and clean tech, aerospace, natural-foods and consumer brands, software, and biosciences across the Boulder area. If you have 10–75 employees and HR keeps landing on the founder or ops lead, that's exactly who Bevel HR is built for.
Colorado's FAMLI paid-leave program requires employer contributions, and the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act mandates salary ranges and benefits in every job posting with per-violation penalties, plus job-opportunity notice requirements. Boulder's growth-stage employers most often miss the posting and promotion-notice rules. If you're also hiring remotely across state lines, the complexity compounds fast. We track state-specific requirements for every client so you're never blindsided by a rule you didn't know applied. See our multi-state hiring and HR compliance services.
In the Boulder area, the employers that come to us tend to share a pattern: boulder's climate-tech, aerospace, and natural-products startups are mission-driven and fast-growing, and Colorado's pay-transparency and paid-leave rules are among the strictest anywhere.
Whether in climate and clean tech, aerospace, natural-foods and consumer brands, software, and biosciences, Boulder employers reach the same inflection point: too many people for ad-hoc HR, too few for a full department.
Compliance is the quiet risk. Colorado's FAMLI paid-leave program requires employer contributions, and the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act mandates salary ranges and benefits in every job posting with per-violation penalties, plus job-opportunity notice requirements. Boulder's growth-stage employers most often miss the posting and promotion-notice rules. We track it continuously so Boulder founders don't have to.
Boulder packs an outsized tech, aerospace, and natural-products economy into a small city. The federal labs (NIST, NOAA, NCAR) and the university anchor a deep technical workforce, aerospace has a real footprint, and the natural and organic foods industry that Boulder helped invent still drives a cluster of consumer brands.
Colorado has moved aggressively on employee protections, and Boulder employers feel all of it: the state's pay-transparency law (salary ranges and benefits in postings, with real teeth), the FAMLI paid-leave program, the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act for sick leave, and detailed wage-protection rules. Colorado is now one of the more demanding states to employ people in.
The Boulder challenge is that small, technical companies underestimate how much Colorado now requires, especially the posting and pay-transparency rules that apply even to tiny employers. We keep that compliant so a job posting does not become a violation. See HR compliance.
