In Utah, in 1983, Kinect Capital created the world’s first venture accelerator. Today, Utah is #1 for startups, #1 for unicorns, and still a great place to live.
Instead of uprooting startups to bring them to capital, we bring capital to founders, so they bloom where they’re rooted. Our non-profit volunteer model shows the power of Cooperative Venturing, connecting startup founders, mentors, investors, and communities in a journey of mutual benefit. When one startup flourishes, it creates opportunities for others, and raises the entire ecosystem. Our alumni companies have raised over $1.2 billion in funding and achieving over $10 billion in exits since 2009.
Join us in redefining rules, breaking barriers, and celebrating Utah’s unique place as the best startup ecosystem on earth.
