2010 vSpring V|100 Nominations

Just got a notice last week that they were accepting nominations for the v100. I think it’s a great program, kudos to vSpring Capital for putting it on.

It’s a community-nominated and peer-selected organization for entrepreneurs in Utah.

I’ve been selected for the last 3 years running. Having said it’s great, it seems like when I go to the annual event or get the directory, it’s the likely suspects each year. I think that is backed up by that it’s been around for 7 years (100*7=700) however, there are only 260 members to date.

Anyway, like I said, it’s a great program and great idea.

To help it out a bit this year, I purposefully ignored my usual suspects, and nominated 15 early entrepreneurs that fit the definition of this program spot on. I’ve been lucky to meet most of these folks through LaunchUp.org, and am really amped to see who else I’ll meet through that this year.

In the spirit of openness and transparency (and to support Mark Zuckerberg’s claim that Privacy is Dead) here’s my list of nominees:

I hope some of them make it to the actual final list, as they all deserve to be there based on the criteria as set forth.

Good job vSpring keeping the program running for going on 8 years!!

I’ll be doing the same by posting those I vote for in the final voting once that is set.

About the v100
The vSpring Capital top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs, or v100 is a community-nominated and peer-selected organization of the top venture entrepreneurs with ties to the state of Utah. With over 260 members to date, the v100 was created when the vSpring partners noticed the need for an organization that could offer recognition to the state’s talented entrepreneurs and provide them with opportunities to partner, collaborate and maximize the chance of success. It is designed to help locate and cultivate relationships among top CEO and CTO talent. 2003 was the inaugural year of the program and thanks to participation and input from people like you, the program has been an amazing success. Our vision is that this will be integral in helping to develop and mature Utah’s startup ecosystem and in building trusted and informal relationships with top executive and technical talent in the region.
