I am continually impressed by Alan Hall. Alan Hall is the founder of Grow Utah Ventures, the most active early-stage venture capital firm in Utah. Their latest announcement is the funding of Revinetix — that’s 30+ technology companies funded by Grow Utah since their inception.While 30+ companies is a very impressive number, the most impressive part about Grow Utah is their vision to stimulate & support entrepreneurship by rallying financial resources throughout Utah. As a result of Alan’s leadership, 4 new angel groups have been formed throughout the state. Each group meets regularly (once a month) to listen to pitches and fund new deals.

Another reason that I’m so impressed with Alan is because he feels a personal responsibility to give back to the community. He explains that he is the beneficiary of good fortune which only means that he is now a steward over the money that he has made. As a steward, he is doing all that he can to make good use of it. But, it’s not just money that he contributes! He spends much of his time helping and mentoring entrepreneurs.

Thanks Alan for helping entrepreneurs and building a strong legacy for others to follow!
