BoomStartup
In an effort to accelerate Company
creation across Utah, we co-founded and invested in BoomStartup, a
mentorship-driven investment Program. Each year we select the "Top 10"
Companies and mentor them through an intense 13-week Summer Program
ending with an Investor / Demo Day to facilitate their next round of
funding. We now hold 10 micro-investments in BoomStartup Companies. |
