Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. Millions of us are mourning the passing of our beloved Prophet and President, Russell M. Nelson. He was a dear friend and a cherished leader. His timeless teachings continue to guide us and help us find comfort amid suffering, especially in…
This is a heavy day for members of my faith after the loss of our president @NelsonRussellM and the brutal attack on a congregation in Michigan. Let’s all continue to fight hate, bigotry and violence in this country especially for groups that we don’t agree with.
had 4 Utah companies close $10M+ deals in the last quarter none of these were classic 'up-and-to-the-right' stories. extreme grit (e.g., low/no salary for extended periods), multiple near-death moments when most had written them off, & founders driven by mission keep building!

Great message @GovCox!

Pray for Charlie Kirk and his family. Violence is NEVER acceptable. My God, what a horrifying tragedy.

Many venture capitalists talk about their ‘proprietary networks.’ In reality, the only proprietary thing in our industry is reputation. The best founders find ways to meet investors. Once a deal hits the market, any supposed proprietary access goes away. What truly sets VCs…
