Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working with the local community to put together the first-ever Angel Investor of the Year Award here in Utah. We’ve partnered with several entrepreneurial-minded organizations to put it on and, thus far, it’s been a great process. Nominations were open for about 6 weeks and it was amazing to see the variety of nominations that were submitted. From the most well-known angel to the “under the radar” individual — we received them all.
After receiving nominations, our organizing committee interviewed each of the nominees to find out responses to questions like:
- Tell us about how you got into angel investing?
- Tell us about your portfolio companies and investment history.
- What are your motivations for angel investing?
- etc.
As you can imagine, they have been some fascinating interviews! Anyway, the committee has met and narrowed down the list to a group of finalists — which should be announced tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Oh yeah… one more thing. For those of you in Utah, the can’t-miss award luncheon will be next Tuesday (June 23rd) at the Hilton in downtown SLC. Click here to register.
