Congratulation to Todd Foley on his upcoming retirement! We’ve had the privilege of knowing Todd and have seen firsthand his dedication, care, and commitment to his work and colleagues. A 20-year career and immeasurable impact!

We shared the stage with giants last night. I foresee great things from the contestants we joined at the Utah Tech Week pitch competition, including Adam Kling at Territories.ai José Rojas at Helios Energy Alexandra Pasi, PhD at Lucidity Sciences (incredible poise under pressure when the slides threw a curveball btw!) Easton Allred at Madder Games Chris Hjelm and Connetic Ventures, huge thank you for sponsoring such a strong prize for this event. You guys will be an amazing addition to a great group of investors at Medicaidsoft. Trent Mano and team, you guys put together something special. I am so grateful for the shot you gave us to show the world what Medicaidsoft can do. And I’m glad the message landed. Great things in store.

Honored and grateful to have accepted the Cincinnati Business Courier Climb Award for Equitable Growth on behalf of our team at Connetic Ventures. This award is a testament to our commitment to funding underrepresented founders and creating a more inclusive venture capital ecosystem. Five years ago, we launched our AI analyst Wendal with a mission: to make venture capital accessible to more founders than ever before. We believed that technology could help us break down barriers and challenge the antiquated practices that prevent thousands of qualified founders from accessing funding each year. What we didn’t anticipate was just how much this would help level the playing field for all founders. By building a fully digital, accessible solution, we were able to bring equity to the investment process, ensuring decisions based on merit rather than traditional gatekeeping. Thank you to the Cincinnati Business Courier for this recognition and to our team, partners, and all the founders who inspire us every day. We’re excited to be a small part of changing the industry for the better. #EquitableGrowth #VCInnovation #TechForGood

Cool idea for Brad Zapp and the people at Connetic Ventures to roll out a fund that gives venture capital investing access to the masses. http://bizj.us/1qmcyg
