Lately I blink and a week is gone.
Funding Universe rocks. I attended one of FU’s speed pitching events for about an hour on Tuesday. It was so cool. What a great concept. Angels on one side of the table and entrepreneurs on the other. The entrepreneur has seven minutes to make their case. Paul Allen, the founder of Funding Universe, was there pitching WorldVitalRecords. Think about that - Paul was using the services of a company he started to help him raise money for one of his new businesses. Cool.
Phil Burns was there pitching TagJungle - looks like he may have some interest. I saw Devin Thorpe and Greg Warnock there - what great Utah assets. Newly minted angel investor and former CEO of recently purchased Mingle Match, Ben Peterson, was there as well. He told me he changes lots of diapers lately. I think we’re going to see big things from Ben (again) in the near future. Nimble dude and fight club manager, Jeff Barson, was there as well. The one guy I didn’t see there was Jeff Jordan. Apparently Brock still has him locked in a basement somewhere burning up the phones. I wonder if he’ll come out on Christmas morning? Jeff’s kicking butt on the sales side at FU. Way to go!
Look for my post next week on Grow Utah Ventures new online publication for entrepreneurs.
Kelly Anderson, who blogs at start up princess, is putting on a conference for Utah woman entrepreneurs. Check it out.
Scott Bourne - The real “podfather” - has joined Podango as a consultant. If you don’t know Scott, he was the founder of NetRadio. Having him sign onto your podcasting venture is like being blessed by the Pope (or prophet depending on your religion). Scott and I have developed a cool deal and I am glad to be working with him. Welcome on board, Scott.Â
Podango is still hiring. Podango is cool so apply today. Contact me if you’re interested.
v|Spring is back with the V100. More on that later today…
