The What.
Philo Ventures, VentureCapital.org, and The Shop Salt Lake City present Risky Business: A Utah Tech Week Workshop on de-risking the entry into entrepreneurship by identifying the right business idea.
Join us for a workshop focused on helping would-be entrepreneurs understand how to confidently approach the earliest decision points of launching a business (plus breakfast!)
We’ve tapped some of Utah’s brightest early-stage thinkers to bring you a hands-on how-to guide for new venture ideation and validation. The session kicks off with an expert roundtable on the hallmarks of good (and bad) ideas, where you’ll hear from
- Kristy Muir- Investor @ Pelion, Founder @ FuzePlay, former VP @ Instructure
- Randall Lloyd - Managing Partner @ Grix VC, former GP @ Peterson Ventures
- Chad Staheli - Founding Partner & CEO @ Philo Ventures
From there you’ll get your hands dirty with a real-time ideation and validation exercise designed to take some of the guesswork out of giving high-potential business ideas the green light.
Following the event, all attendees are invited to stick around for Funding Sources for Startups: a conversation on sourcing startup capital through dilutive, non-dilutive, and debt-based options according to company performance, maturity and preference. Get full event details and register here.
