In this episode of The Silicon Slopes Show, we dive deep into the exciting world of tech and entrepreneurship in Utah. We kick off with some thrilling news about the Silicon Slope Summit, Utah's premier grassroots tech event, which is now free for all Utahns for the first time ever! Join us as we discuss the return of the Summit to its original January dates, coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival, and the introduction of Startup Alley, where entrepreneurs can pitch their ideas to global investors.
Our special guest, Paul, makes his second appearance on the show. Paul shares insights from his legendary book "Nail It Then Scale It," co-authored with Dr. Nathan Furr, and discusses its relevance in the AI era. He also talks about his extensive experience with startups, his investment journey, and his current focus on building companies through Alta Labs.

Learn about their innovative approaches to aggregating patient data, matching patients to clinical trials, and accelerating cancer research. Paul also shares personal stories, including his family's battle with cancer and their mission to cure it.
