FundingUniverse Unveils Finalists for Angel Investor of the Year
FundingUniverse announced today the 15 finalists for the Utah Angel Investor of the Year. The event will recognize those Utah Angel Investors who have helped foster entrepreneurship—the backbone of the state’s economy. The award luncheon will feature Michael E. Gerber, author of the mega-bestseller The E-Myth, who was recently touted as “The World’s #1 Small Business Guru,” by INC Magazine.
“Angel investors play a key role within our economy,” said Brock Blake, CEO of FundingUniverse. “They invest in companies when traditional funding sources can’t, and provide hands-on guidance based on their own personal entrepreneurial experiences. These Angels are more than investors—they are mentors and teachers. This award recognizes them for all aspects of their leadership.”
This year's honorees are among the most influential investors in the state of Utah. The finalists are as follows:
- Martin Frey

During the luncheon Mentor of the Year and Start Up of the Year will also be unveiled. To be held on June 23, over 350 elite business professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs are expected to attend. Seats are limited, visit www.investoroftheyear.org to RSVP and purchase tickets.
