Event calendar is live! It's all going down Jan 27 - Feb 1, 2025! Important information for hosts to remember: To create a more walkable, happy collision friendly experience, we're focusing a bit more geographically: Monday - Wednesday: Salt Lake City. There will be several venues or "Houses" in the Gateway. Thursday - Saturday - Everywhere else! Utah County, Point of the Mountain, Cottonwood Heights, Park City, etc! Currently we have these houses in the Gateway: Kickstart Fund - Enterprise SaaS Utah Innovation Fund - Deep Tech Convoi Ventures and Frame VC - Zero to One Phi - House of Health Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Utah Tech Week - Two houses for the community to host events! If you're interested in hosting at one of the houses, please reach out to Kyle Spencer!

🚨 The Utah Tech Week calendar is live! 🚨 Hosts! Now's the time to list your events. We currently have 18 events listed, so get your event on the calendar for visibility! Year one of Utah Tech Week there were 114 events, last year 197 events, and this year certainly will be more! Remember this year that M - W events will be focused (but not required!) in Salt Lake City, specifically in the Gateway. Th - F will be everywhere else (Cottonwood Heights, Point of the Mountain, Utah Valley, Park City, etc.) Attendees! Feel free to check out our new event platform. Sadly for me but almost no one else, we're ditching the only-a-founder-could-love google sheet for a more searchable, sortable version. There's still some tweaks to make so feel free to drop your improvement suggestions in the comments and we'll fix right away! Much much much more info to come in the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned! Link to calendar in comments below!

Thank you all for an amazing tech week!

An 11pm to 5am (!) meeting with 30-40 VCs, entrepreneurs, CEOs & visionaries at my Pleasant Grove office discussing the cosmos, consciousness, business, life & spirituality… Scott Paul & Kirk Ouimet persuading me to stand up on top of a table to take off my suit & put on a Phi sweatshirt… Learning about the “Don’t Die” movement of centimillionaire Bryan Johnson (sold Venmo to PayPal) & his relentless quest to reverse aging… An all-star lineup of latest & greatest business operators in Utah including Adam Edmunds, Steve Lindsey & Dave Grow with the dynamic Sterling Snow discussing building a business in Utah… A ceremony celebrating the coolest minds in Utah, unveiling the AI 100, where the award was an astrolabe - an instrument used by early astronomers to measure the altitude of stars & planets & also as a navigational aid (thanks Kirk Ouimet!)… Networking events involving IV therapy, karaoke, loud music & the most eclectic & electric characters… ONLY at Utah Tech Week, brought to you by the dynamic Trent Mano, Scott Paul, Kat Kennedy, Convoi Ventures, Kickstart Fund, Mercato, Pelion Venture Partners, Phi, Seis, Signal Peak Ventures, Kiln, 47G & many others.

Please stop what you're doing and check out the trailer for Rooting in America. Hope everyone can join us this Friday to see the premiere of this episode. Bring your box of tissues, it hits at the core of what makes our this community of builders here in Utah soo great! Couldn't pick a better week to send it than Utah Tech Week! Thanks Trent for leading the charge and making this happen. It's soo nice to come together, break bread, get inspired before going back to the lab. It always feels like Zone Conference for Utah's Tech community 💚

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Founders N' Funders Happy Hour last night for Utah Tech Week! Special thanks to the teams from Mercury, Parsons Behle & Latimer, GoGlobal, Escalon Services, Inc. and Forecastr. And … Thank you again to The Turn-Tablers for the amazing performance! Looking forward to the Founders N' Funders Event tomorrow (Thursday) at Kiln in Lehi. See you there! #startups #founders #UtahTechWeek

Nate Walkingshaw hosted us at Torus this morning for a Utah Tech Week event. I’m really impressed by Nate and his vision for the industry - his team is laying the foundation for a world where energy independence will be possible for residents and enterprises all over.
