From search to results
Colorado’s growth story is real. So are the risks that come with moving fast.
Colorado’s rapidly growing tech, construction, outdoor recreation, and cannabis industries attract talent and entrepreneurs from across the country — along with people who take advantage of a market moving too fast to stop and verify. Two minutes changes that.
The mountain contractor who was more talk than skill
Colorado’s resort towns and growing suburbs are filled with contractors doing renovation, construction, and repair work — some licensed and legitimate, others not. In a high-cost market, a fraudulent contractor can cost you far more than their estimate.
Contractor fraud is consistently among the top consumer complaints filed in Colorado
The startup co-founder with a background he’d left behind
Colorado’s Front Range startup scene is fast-moving and relationship-driven. A co-founder or key hire with a concealed history of fraud, financial misconduct, or watchlist matches is the most avoidable risk you’ll ever take.
Startup fraud costs Colorado investors hundreds of millions annually
The cannabis or hospitality hire who tested the limits of trust
Colorado’s cannabis, hospitality, and outdoor recreation industries hire fast and seasonally. A basic identity check before granting access to inventory, cash, or customer data is two minutes well spent.
Retail and hospitality employee theft costs Colorado businesses tens of millions each year
From Denver tech founders to Aspen property managers — this is who checks first.
Colorado’s economy is driven by tech, construction, tourism, real estate, and a fast-growing outdoor industry. These are the business owners who verify before they trust.
Startup founders & tech company owners
Denver and Boulder’s startup ecosystem moves fast. Founders who onboard contractors, freelancers, or early employees without a basic identity check take on risk they don’t have to. TellData gives you a two-minute confidence check before anyone joins your team.
- Verify co-founders
- Screen contractors
- Check key hires
Real estate investors & property managers
Colorado’s real estate market — from Denver condos to mountain cabins — attracts buyers and renters from across the country. Before you sign a lease, accept an offer, or hand over access, a quick identity lookup is basic due diligence.
- Screen tenants
- Verify buyers
- Check property managers
Outdoor recreation & tourism business owners
Ski resorts, adventure companies, outfitters, and tourism operators across the Rockies hire seasonal staff from all over the country every year. A quick TellData lookup before the season starts is the easiest protection you can add.
- Screen seasonal staff
- Verify guides
- Check contractors
Six checks. One report. Two minutes. Done.
You get the full picture — not a surface-level search. Every report combines six independent data checks into one clear, plain-English summary.
The phone and email steps use reverse phone number lookup and email lookup data. Hiring a trade in the mountains? See the contractor background check guide.
Criminal records search
Searches national court and criminal databases for records matching the provided name and any state or county criteria you supply.
SSN trace & address history
Verifies the Social Security Number is real and tied to the name they gave you — plus every address ever linked to it.
Watchlist & sanctions screening
Cross-references global watchlists, PEP databases, and U.S. sanctions lists for any matching records.
Phone & email identity check
Confirms the phone and email actually match the name they gave you — or flags it when something doesn’t line up.
Digital footprint review
Shows which apps, platforms, and services are linked to the email address. More data points, clearer picture.
Social profile references
Surfaces linked social accounts to check name consistency and catch any public-facing identity discrepancies.
Every report ends with a plain-English result — no guesswork, no jargon. You know exactly what to do next.

Less than a ski-day in Vail. Far more useful.
In Colorado’s high-cost business environment, one unverified hire or contractor can cost more than an entire season of growth. A TellData report costs less than lunch in LoDo.

They checked. It paid off.
“I brought on a co-founder last year and ran a report before we signed anything. His address history came back to a state he’d never mentioned. Dug into it — turned out he’d had a failed startup there with litigation he hadn’t disclosed. Saved me from a very bad situation.”
“I manage vacation rentals in Breckenridge and hire local maintenance contractors year-round. After one bad experience with an unlicensed contractor who damaged a unit and disappeared, TellData is now the first step before any new vendor gets access to my properties.”
“We run a whitewater rafting company in Salida and hire seasonal guides every spring. TellData is part of our pre-season process — it takes two minutes per person and gives me confidence that the people leading my guests are who they say they are.”
Things people usually ask.
Yes. TellData searches national databases covering all 64 Colorado counties — from Denver, Boulder, and El Paso to rural mountain and plains counties. Coverage depth depends on available court and public records data per jurisdiction.
Yes. Because TellData searches national databases, it pulls records from whatever state the person has history in — not just Colorado. If someone is relocating from Texas, California, or anywhere else in the U.S., TellData searches their full national record footprint.
You can start with just a name plus a phone number or email. Adding an SSN significantly improves the depth of the address history and identity trace. The more identifiers you provide, the more complete the report.
No. The Single Report is a one-time purchase valid for 365 days. Monthly plans can be cancelled any time — no contracts, no lock-in.
Every report ends with Clear, Review, or Flag. Clear means no significant records were found. Review means something warrants a closer look. Flag means a more serious match was returned. The report explains exactly what was found in plain English.
No. TellData is a people search and identity verification tool for personal due diligence — not an FCRA-regulated employment screening service. It cannot be used as the basis for employment, credit, housing, or insurance decisions.
Colorado moves at altitude. Don’t let verification be the thing you skip.
Two minutes. One report. Run your first lookup before the next unverified person you trust with your business costs you more than a bad season.
