Did you know that Provo, Utah-based Angel Studios believes it's worth nearly $1.6 billion?!?!?! Yes, that's "Unicorn" status, and Angel Studios has now very publicly disclosed to the world that, in fact, that that is exactly what the firm is worth. Intrigued?!?!?! If so, please turn to Utah Money Watch to read our report (and analysis) titled "Is Angel Studios Really Worth $1.58 Billion? It Thinks So." — which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/grniKi47. TBH (to be honest), we've held back of late in diving into Angel Studios' financial activities over the past two weeks, the euphemistically known "dog days" of summer. But when we began digging into its interrelated machinations and announcements, we started to realize what it was that #AngelStudios was up to. At least we think so. That said, we look forward to your thoughts and feedback on this report, whether via #likes, #comments, #shares, #reposts and/or DMs. As always, the intent is to provide you, my subscribers & readers, insights and information not available from any other source in Utah.

BREAKING NEWS: "Global Counterintelligence Firm, Utah-based Strider Technologies, Has Just Closed a $55 Million Round of Series C Funding." Leading the funding round was Utah's top venture capital firm, Pelion Venture Partners, which says that its investment in the #Strider C Round of funding is the largest check, figuratively, it has ever written. That said, given my prior connections with, and reporting on, Strider Technologies, I invite you to visit Utah Money Watch to get background and perspective on this global #counterintelligence firm that you won't get anywhere else. Here's a link to my writeup: https://lnkd.in/gikNYv6M. Thanks. And, as always, if you found this report useful / beneficial, I hope you'll take a second to #repost, #share, #comment, and/or #like.

August is often considered a doldrum-ish month in #business, you know, the "Dog Days of Summer?" And yet, did you know that a Lindon, Utah-based firm acquired 4 businesses this August?!?!?! 🤯 🤯 🤯 Yeah, it's true. In fact, by our count there were at least 23 fairly significant NEWS NUGGETS that happened within #Utah's #monetary / #financial / #business ecosystem this past month worth being aware of (at a minimum). So ... presuming you're intrigued ... please visit Utah Money Watch to read the "Top 23 Utah-focused Monetary, Financial and/or Business News Nuggets from August 2024 that You Might have Missed" here: https://lnkd.in/gJDWvFmg. And, as always, if you find this writeup useful/helpful, we invite you to #share, #repost, #comment, and/or #like this report. Thanks. Sincerely, David ("Poppa P") Politis, Founder, Editor & Publisher, Utah Money Watch Ancestry Sunroc Corporation Domo Modere Method Communications Aptive Environmental EnviroServe Sky Zone Casper's Ice Cream DigiCert CHG Healthcare FJ Management Maverik, Inc. Prime Insurance Company SINTX Technologies TAB Bank rPlus Energies OrthoGrid Systems, Inc. PCF Insurance Services P.S. — For anyone who counted the number of companies listed above, the reason why there are only 19 firms listed and NOT 20 is because some firms do not have an official LinkedIn Profile. Yet. 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ We know. Shocking to believe in 2024, but true. We won't embarrass that organization by calling them out here, but you can figure it out if you're interested. Beyond that final little "nugget," we hope y'all have a great day. DLP

ICYMI: "Utah-based Purple Innovation is Closing its Two Manufacturing Plants in Utah, Will Layoff Approximately 13% of its Staff, and Expects Restructuring Costs of $35 Million to $45 Million." If all you want is the headline, there you go. If you're looking for the rest of the story, however, then please turn to Utah Money Watch to read https://lnkd.in/gVvBftGe. Thanks. And for you execs and #HR pros out there, the Utah Department of Workforce Services recently reported that the state's #unemployment rate was 3.2% in July 2024. That translates into more job openings than people looking for work. That said, hopefully these newly #unemployed workers can find new positions ASAP. 🙏 🙏 🙏 David Purple #utah #restructuring #work #laidoff #layoffs #lookingforwork #manufacturing #monetary #financial #finances

NEWS BRIEF: "Utah-based Carketa Lands $4.4 Million in Early Growth Round of Venture Capital Funding." FYI — The news itself is fairly straightforward. That said, what we found fascinating is that the firm's President and Co-Founder, Jason L Berry, is also CEO of Orem, Utah-based Action Auto Sales & Finance LLC. As such, Jason & team are using #ActionAuto as a live test bed for Carketa's #SaaS tools. And, it's working — Freakin' brilliant!!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 Please turn to Utah Money Watch to read https://lnkd.in/gYVuR4Uc and get the inside scoop. Thanks.
