How featuring works
Featured investors and partners are hand-picked by our research team based on verified activity in Utah software. Here's how it works — and how to request consideration.
What featuring looks like
- • A small Featured badge on your card
- • Top-of-page placement on /investors and /partners
- • Priority in region and category hubs
- • Inclusion in curated "Featured" strips across the site
How we choose who to feature
Featuring is editorial — chosen by our research team, not paid. We weigh:
- • Verified activity in Utah software (recent investments, partner engagements, sponsorships).
- • Profile completeness — logo, one-liner, team, links, and citations all present.
- • Claim status — claimed profiles are prioritized so featured placements always reflect current teams.
- • Community contribution — events, education, mentorship, and other visible work in the ecosystem.
Frequently asked
Featured investors and partners appear at the top of their directory (with a small Featured badge) and get priority placement in region and category hubs. The listing itself is unchanged — featuring is about visibility, not exclusivity.
Our research team hand-selects featured placements based on verified activity in the Utah software ecosystem, recent contributions (portfolio investments, partner work, sponsorships, community leadership), profile completeness, and claim status. It is editorial, not pay-to-play.
Use the “Want to be featured?” request form. Tell us who you are, what you do in Utah software, and why you'd like to be featured. Our team reviews requests weekly and follows up by email.
No. Featuring is currently free and editorial. If we ever introduce paid placements they will be clearly labeled as sponsored.
We rotate featured placements as new investors and partners join and as activity changes. Being featured is not permanent — profiles cycle in and out based on ecosystem contribution.
