Boulder has startups, natural food brands and scientists. A virtual assistant helps these small teams do more without adding costs.
Virtual Assistant gives Boulder businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $260 a month, working Mountain time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Boulder businesses hire a virtual assistant
The University of Colorado, federal labs, outdoor brands and natural products companies make it a highly educated town with a strong founder community. Costs are high, so startups tend to stay small for as long as they can.

Why hire your Boulder assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Mountain time business hours, so your day and theirs line up. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- They work your hours: Your assistant works in your time zone, and evening coverage is available as an add-on.
- They know the platforms: Your assistant works in Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, WooCommerce, eBay and ShipStation.
- A person checks the output: AI drafts are reviewed before they reach you, so you do not receive unchecked answers.
- Start in 1 to 3 business days: Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment, or within 24 hours with rush onboarding.
- NDA and secure access: Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.
- A dedicated assistant: You work with one person who learns your business, not whoever is free in a shared pool.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
