Most college students are grateful for spending money.
A group of University of Utah business students hope to get just that much to buy equity stakes in companies with cutting-edge technology and the potential to turn profits. The students will oversee the Utah Entrepreneur Fund. This is one piece of an overall effort focused on teaching people to think about how to start a business. Geoff Wooley, a founding member of Dominion Ventures and European Venture Partners, spearheaded the fund's creation. But a lot of people lent support, including Brittain, Huntsman Chemical co-founder Ladd Christensen, Wasatch Venture Fund managing partner Kent Christensen, Craig Ballard of Cornerstone Capital Group and Lee Archer of Copiers Now.
