Devin Thorpe, author of our MidMarketMaven.com, was interviewed and featured in a recent news article on Utah venture capital funding. The article, 9 Utah Firms Funded, was written by David Anderton of the Deseret News, a Salt Lake City, UT newspaper and online publication, and was published on April 25, 2006. It
highlights this year’s slight decline in Utah venture capital, and quotes Devin extensively.
An excerpt from the article:
Devin Thorpe, founder of Thorpe Capital, a Salt Lake-based investment bank that helps clients find venture capital, said a three-month sample size in Utah's economy is too small to understand underlying investment trends.

Thorpe said venture capital funding in the state is poised to take off with the launch of the state's $100 million “fund of funds,” created by the Legislature to increase venture capital investment in the state.
Devin is the founder and Managing Director of the Thorpe Capital Group, LLC, an investment banking firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was featured in a press release we distributed earlier this year, and has been authoring MidMarketMaven since Jan 2006. We’re excited that he has been further recognized by the media as an exceptional practicing authority in his field. Keep on groovin’, Devin!
