What will your tombstone say? If you don’t like it, change it.

Startup founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners, always focus your building to leave behind something you’re proud of.

This is from episode 49 of the Startup Ignition Podcast featuring @blakemod of @Pelion_VP.

[John Richards @johnrichards_ut]

I don't usually listen to the Startup Ignition podcast on release day... BUT this episode I had to. Special thanks to Blake Modersitzki @blakemod of Pelion Venture Partners @Pelion_VP for joining the pod!!

We are proud to spotlight ⁦@RainmakerCorp⁩ ⁦@ADoricko⁩ on the ⁦@Pelion_VP⁩ billboard in Utah.

Thank you for refilling the Great Salt Lake.

@gentryld @KickstartFund @Pelion_VP @runventures_vc Love it. Great job

Whenever Redo gets to work with another great Utah brand I get especially stoked.

Kizik is a company I've looked up to for a long time.

I think what Jason Lee has built from an ops standpoint is second to none.

Getting to work with brands you've looked up to and been a long time customer of is the ultimate privilege.

Special bonus when they're building in Utah.

We’re excited to announce that we've raised a $60M Series B to help teams focus on building and shipping with AI instead of endlessly reviewing!

This round was led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation by NVentures (NVIDIA's venture capital arm).

Salt Lake City-based Pelion Venture Partners has raised $500 million for a new fund — an unusually large sum for a firm located outside of a coastal hub from @Bloomberg @lizette_chapman

[Sterling Snow @sterlingmsnow]

We're announcing fund 8.

$500M to invest in early stage startups.

I've gotten to see both sides of Pelion.

As part of the team, we're obsessed with building Utah and our ecosystem. The partners and firm as a whole are full of some of the kindest people I've ever met.

@gavin_kickstart @pelion Love working with you and all the great things you're doing at @KickstartFund

Episode 14!

I have recency bias but this was probably the most fun convo we’ve had this year.

@jaltma just gets it.

There are lessons you only learn by walking the walk. And Jack has.

Hope you enjoy the convo as much as @thogge and I did.
