Start. Raise Money. Change the World.
Startups create most of the world's new technologies. But over 90% of tech startups fail, and often, founders go down with the ship, never to try again. That’s a big loss for all of us.
Startups usually fail because they lack experience, capital, or both. Kinect Capital® is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit that connects founders to experience and capital, making them Investor Ready.® Our motto says it all: Start. Raise Money. Change the World.®
Most startups don't happen in Silicon Valley. We attract capital to where our startups are, not the other way around.
As our name suggests, our culture of kinship creates a strong volunteer network of founders, mentors, lenders, investors, and others helping build their local communities through Cooperative Venturing.®
Founded in Utah in 1983, we may be the world’s first venture accelerator—but our unique non-profit approach has helped make Utah #1 for both startups and unicorns. With over 1000 alumni startups in 43 states and 3 countries, and billions in market capital raised, we know how to help startups grow. Help us create new economic opportunity in underserved markets!
