Brad Edison Bonham, Utah’s entrepreneur-in-residence, was featured in the Deseret News to share why Utah is the startup capital of the world. "Brad has dived into his entrepreneur-in-residence nonprofit role as enthusiastically as those that have been for-profit. First thing he did was travel the length and breadth of the state, organizing lunches and inviting local entrepreneurs or would-be entrepreneurs to attend. He listened to their comments, hopes, problems, suggestions and concerns (and paid for the lunches). That took up the first half of 2023. Armed with their input, he spent the second half of the year setting up a website: startup.utah.gov — a one-stop-shop clearing house for all the tools and resources entrepreneurs can access, full of information designed to “make it as easy as humanly possible to start a business here in Utah.” The website has been up and running most of 2024. As word spreads, more and more success stories are pouring in. “I believe wholeheartedly that government is great when it enables and it’s horrible when it impedes,” said Brad recently as he met with the Deseret News at Twenty and Creek, the event venue in Sandy run by his wife, Megan (yet another Bonham entrepreneur). “Utah is already the best fiscally run state in the union. My goal is to make it even better.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEvWxqv2
