Enjoyed sitting down with @GovCox and talking about his vision for Utah as the Startup State. Why? For every 1 job created in the innovation economy 5 others are created. While growth certainly creates challenges, excited for the “problem solvers” to address challenges head on
We loved hosting Governor @SpencerJCox on the Running Stuff podcast to discuss the economic growth and entrepreneurial spirit in the state of Utah

Some great takeaways from @BlakeJHarber and @johnwhyde on scaling sales team and strategy. Not just looking for product market fit but product channel market fit. Important insight. Thanks to @meetatkiln for hosting.
Thanks @trentmano and @room_here for putting on this event. Excited to participate and do our part in help make the conversation about mental fitness part of the everyday conversation.

I wonder what this founder thinks of this assessment looking back: "The CEO and co-founder ... presented to the partnership ... in what was widely viewed as an anemic presentation. We feel his group presentation skills are lacking"
Congrats to Joseph Zwillinger, Tim Brown and the Allbirds team. In a historically challenging time for retail and apparel, this round is a testament to quality of their product, operations and business model. lnkd.in/g6vwkfV
Excited to announce Peterson Ventures Fund III. Great interview with my partner @Ilana_Stern with @Cookie from TechCrunch.

Continue to be amazed at the response of our portfolio companies to #COVIDー19
Amazing response to our donation. We've since distributed $500k of shoes and listened to our community by adding a “buy-one-give-one” option in the U.S. + option to donate a pair to a healthcare worker. Donate your pair here: allbirds.com/pages/better-to…
My view on commute in from work today. Sometimes you just need to stop and enjoy the fall leaves. #utah

Great panel last night @IamSoGal SLC led by @minnatwang. Proud to support @imzhenniliu and what she and her team are doing to create a community for females who are founding, investing and working in tech. Hope more will take advantage of this tremendous resource.
Excited to have @dunn @ @siliconslopes “At some point an entrepreneur has to make the transition to CEO. Entrepreneur is about finding something new. CEO is about working with what you have and learning to say no.”
