Peterson Ventures’ Post

Back in 2012, Peterson Ventures was founded on two premises: 1️⃣ Peterson Partners was sitting in Utah, a burgeoning tech ecosystem that at the time was undercapitalized from seed-stage perspective 2️⃣ Our founding partner Joel Peterson had been teaching at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business since the early 90s and had unique access to founders on campus Fast-forward twelve years and we've now backed 46 Utah-based startups and 38 GSB-founded companies and we continue to invest in and be very bullish on both of these ecosystems. Earlier this month, these two worlds collided when we hosted a happy hour for GSB alumni living in Utah. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones. And as a Utah native, it was really fun to meet talented GSB alums who recently relocated to Utah for our outdoor lifestyle and strong tech ecosystem. Looking forward to the next decade investing in these two ecosystems!
