Utah's top 104 venture entrepreneurs chosen by vSpring
The v100 was conceived by vSpring as a tool to recognize the region's outstanding entrepreneurs and to support and promote partnering and collaboration among Utah's top entrepreneurs. Each year, the company asks members of the state's business community to nominate people with ties to Utah who are most likely to lead a successful startup venture in the next five to seven years in the information technology or biotech industries in a chief executive or chief technical officer role.
After nominations are submitted, nominees are invited to participate in a confidential online survey to vote for the top 10 individuals they feel would most likely meet the selection criteria. Those nominees who garner the most votes from their peers are then elected into the v100.
The 104 people who made the cut for the v100 for 2006 are:
Bill Aho, chief executive officer of ClearPlay Inc.
Curt Allen, Agilix Labs Inc. CEO
Paul Allen, Infobase Ventures CEO
Will Allred, Firepoll CEO
