The Official List of Winners at the Utah Startup Awards

Pluralsight wins big at inaugural Utah Startup Awards

For anybody who loves the burgeoning Utah startup scene, this weekend at StartSLC was a huge win for the entire community. We had — amongst many, many other things — big-name speakers, sword dancers, drones flying, and a $250,000 pitch competition. The amount of support and interest we received throughout the festival was near-overwhelming and speaks to the continued rise of entrepreneurship within the Beehive State.

With Utah’s future burning at retina-destroying levels, the first-ever Utah Startup Awards were announced at StartSLC to celebrate the amazing amount of success experienced by companies all over the state. As we look with interest toward the future of the Utah startup scene — and trust us, it’s ready to explode — let’s look one last time at the winners of the inaugural Utah Startup Awards.
