The theme of this year’s event, “The Rising Tide Lifts All Boats,” reflects our commitment to the collective success of the entrepreneurial community in Utah. Kinect Capital invites you to join us in fostering an environment where success is shared and celebrated.

“Utah has been my home for  three decades, and it’s been a privilege to witness and contribute to the growth and success of some of the most innovative businesses and leaders in our community.” said James Kemp, Executive Director of Kinect Capital. “The Investors Choice event is a testament to the collaborative spirit that drives our entrepreneurial ecosystem. It’s an opportunity to showcase the brilliant minds and ventures that will shape our future. I am excited to see how the discussions, connections, and ideas generated here will continue to elevate our industry and community.”

Highlights of the event include a premier start-up pitch showcase, where over 20 entrepreneurs, refined by a top-tier mentoring program, will present their ventures to a select group of investors and capital providers. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to network with hundreds of leaders from Utah and beyond.

“Innovation thrives on diversity of thought and collaboration. I’ve seen firsthand how Kinect Capital has been a catalyst for growth, bringing together a community that values every voice.” said Marcia Nelson. “The Investors Choice event is a reflection of this ethos, where we come together to support and uplift each other. It’s more than an event; it’s a movement towards a future where every entrepreneur has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to our collective prosperity.”

Partner organizations will offer a series of workshops on critical topics such as Intellectual Property, Taxes and Accounting, Deal Transactions, and Investments. These sessions are designed to provide valuable insights and practical knowledge to participants.

The event will culminate with a live performance by “Seasoned Amnesia,” a local Utah band known for their renditions of classic rock hits from the 60s through the 90s. This celebration of music and community is the perfect way to wrap up an event dedicated to innovation and collaboration.
