Scott Paul describes the Utah angel investing ecosystem, and his role as a Founder of Convoi Ventures, an $8M rolling VC fund here in Utah.
He's helped turn Utah into a thriving startup culture and he is a supportive leader and angel investor.
Utah has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, with a growing number of startups and small businesses emerging in recent years.
Angel investors are a critical component of the Utah startup ecosystem, providing seed funding and mentorship to early-stage companies. These investors are typically high-net-worth individuals who invest their own capital in promising startups in exchange for equity.
Utah has several angel investor groups, including Salt Lake City Angels, Park City Angels, and Utah Angels. These groups offer a range of resources and support for startups, including funding, mentorship, networking opportunities, and access to a wide range of industry experts.
In addition to angel investor groups, Utah has a number of venture capital firms that specialize in early-stage funding. These firms typically invest larger sums of money in startups that have already demonstrated some level of success, such as a working prototype or a small customer base.
