On this episode of the Silicon Slopes Podcast, Clint meets with Utah legend, Paul Ahlstrom, who is an investor and entrepreneur, as well as the co-author of Nail It Then Scale It. Utah owes its dramatic rise in the tech and investment world to Paul because he co-founded the state's leading venture capital fund, which gave Utah the springboard it needed to become a part of every renowned investor's portfolio. They discuss his extensive background in investing and how Paul has made investing history by helping so many companies become the giants they are today. They dive into Paul's entrepreneurial journey and how he's an integral part of Utah's tech ecosystem, even creating the first venture fund in Mexico! Always on the hunt for the next problem to be solved, Paul's on a mission for three things: to cure cancer, end poverty, and disrupt Hollywood, by giving back and working to build things better. "I'm not really an investor. I'm an entrepreneur that's kind of disguised as an investor but if you look at the lens of everything I do, one of the things you can look at is just creating things out of scratch that are hard, that haven't been done before."
