About the v100

The vSpring Capital top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs, or v100 is a community-nominated and peer-selected organization of the top venture entrepreneurs with ties to the state of Utah. With over 260 members to date, the v100 was created when the vSpring partners noticed the need for an organization that could offer recognition to the state’s talented entrepreneurs and provide them with opportunities to partner, collaborate and maximize the chance of success.  It is designed to help locate and cultivate relationships among top CEO and CTO talent.  2003 was the inaugural year of the program and thanks to participation and input from people like you, the program has been an amazing success.

 

Since its inception in 2003, the v100 has accomplished the following:

 

·         Created a unique, self-directed community in which the v100 decide how to best use the organization's resources

·         Increased visibility and collaboration amongst Utah's top venture entrepreneurs

·         Increased networking and dialogue with their peers and with vSpring partners

·         Raised the profile of these talented individuals across the broader business ecosystem and particularly among in-state and out-of-state investors

Our vision is that this will be integral in helping to develop and mature Utah's startup ecosystem and in building trusted and informal relationships with top executive and technical talent in the region. To learn more about the v100 click on the link below.
