A company our venture fund is invested in has created Bonfire, a platform to create 3D/interactive games that run on desktop, mobile and VR headsets including the Meta Quest, and Pico headsets. They have several pieces of breakthrough tech that are turning heads. It’s fun and their CEO founder is leading a build-along tutorial using Bonfire to make a Halloween game.

"If you raise it, you'll spend it"

In my long career in venture as an mentor-investor, I have given this advice/word of warning to countless entrepreneurs. This is sage wisdom. It's a quick read.

The dates for the next cohort of my Startup Ignition entrepreneur bootcamp have been set! February 19-21, 2025. It will be held in the kiln co-working space in Provo, Utah.

The bootcamp is a 3-month intensive experience that helps startup ventures (over 600 alumni) do the right things in the right order and avoid most mistakes that kill startups. It's a "tough love" reality check for entrepreneurs that includes more than 3 days of in-class experience (begins with 3 days plus a webinar later) followed by 3 months of mentoring.

Recently, Startup Ignition cracked the code on enhancing the experience with AI so the arduous task of actually following lean startup principles and validating a business model (finding product-market fit). I am personally re-energized as all of the work and mentoring is being reduced from weeks and months to hours and days. No joke.

We train you and the principles, what to do and what not to do, and then supercharge your ability to do it.

Sign up now. No inflation. Tuition is still $1,999 with discounts for women, co-founders, etc. Alumni still get the $500 "Refresher" tuition.

Utah Angels was the leading (and at times the only) angel investing group in Utah from the 1990s though about 2010, placing over $100 million in investments. In 2010, the members decided to sunset the group and give way to the next generation of investors, which gave rise to UA2.

As successful business entrepreneurs with decades of experience, we can help you develop your idea, and provide invaluable feedback.
