STARTUP IGNITION VENTURES CELEBRATES FEATURE IN PREQIN'S INVESTOR NEWSLETTER

We're thrilled to be featured in the latest issue of Preqin's First Close, where our journey and vision at Startup Ignition Ventures (SIV) were highlighted alongside some of the biggest names in venture capital. For those unfamiliar, Preqin is a leading provider of data, analytics, and insights on the global investment industry, offering valuable information through resources like their investor newsletter, First Close.
This recognition underscores the vibrant potential of the Western U.S. tech scene and the unique role we play in fostering early-stage innovation. As we continue our mission to be the initial catalyst for groundbreaking SaaS startups, the article offers a peek into how our roots in Utah—known for its entrepreneurial spirit and dubbed the "Silicon Slopes"—shape our investment strategy. Our approach, focusing on being the 'first real check' in promising businesses, has already led to partnerships with 15 startups, illustrating our commitment to transforming visionary ideas into reality.

We are inspired by the confidence shown by both individual and institutional investors who have joined us halfway to our $20 million goal for pre-seed deals. As we progress, we remain eager to connect with more partners who share our vision of driving tech innovation from the slopes of Utah to the broader markets.

For those interested in reading more about our story and the broader VC landscape, we encourage checking out the full article in Preqin's First Close. This feature not only highlights our efforts but also sheds light on the challenges and opportunities within the VC sector during these transformative times.
