Pelion Venture Partners

Big shoutout to Pelion Venture Partners and a huge thanks to Sterling Snow, Ally Hunter, and Litia Garr for hosting our Tuesday night run club for Twenty One Run at their sweet new space in Draper. Who else is holding midweek meet-ups in 100 degree temps? This should be the new way to network – less “pick your brains” and more “run and chats.” I’m super excited to keep connecting with others through running. Who’s place should we crash next?

The stimulus checks are gone. Pandemic-era excess savings have been spent, leaving households with $263 BILLION less in savings than they had pre-pandemic. Since Q4 2021, Americans have been dipping into their savings to maintain their lifestyle and keep up with inflation. Now, tough decisions lie ahead. To right-size budgets, consumers must either cut expenses or increase income. With a finite number of work hours, extra income must be PASSIVE. Neighbor is the only platform I know that offers truly PASSIVE income. -Uber requires driving. -Instacart requires shopping. -Thumbtack requires handiwork. -Airbnb requires constant tenant and property management. On Neighbor, homeowners, small businesses, investors, and property managers in all 50 U.S. states earn millions by simply listing property they aren't using today. While a car or boat sits in your parking spot or boxes in your garage, you earn passive $$$ for months or years without lifting a finger. Let us help you make up the savings gap 📈 #realestate #passiveincome #FIRE

40 Under 40 Honoree: Tyler Hogge, Venture Partner at Pelion Venture Partners Tyler Hogge’s mission? To invest in and help build exceptional startups. The job title may sound simple, but the impact is immense. Pelion Venture Partners’ portfolio includes Divvy from BILL, Owlet Baby Care, Weave, Entrata, Lucid Software and so many more startups whose reach have spread well beyond Utah — and Tyler is a critical part of the team. Tyler’s resume also includes leading the product and risk organizations at Divvy for four years through the acquisition by BILL for $2.5 billion. He’s kind of a big deal (and so are the relationships made through Pelion) — but his focus is on helping startups, rather than shining a spotlight on himself.

Casey Baugh is someone I've admired for a long time. He's a builder to his core and always looks to lift everyone in the ecosystem up. He's someone I want to be more like. We had a fun chat, this was different from any podcast I've been a part of, much more focus on: "Who someone is." "How did they get to be that way." "What lessons have changed them along their path." Thanks for the convo Casey.
