Make Utah's startup ecosystem visible.

Prize $10,000 single prize · ship both portions
Team of 1–3 Open to anyone

Utah's startup ecosystem is on fire. AI. Aerospace and defense. Life sciences. Fintech. There are more entrepreneurs building here right now than at any point in this state's history — and most of them have no idea what the state has waiting for them. Free capital. Expert mentorship. World-class programs.

The opportunity is here, the visibility isn't. You're going to fix that. One bounty, two portions — winning project ships both.

Portion 1

The Founder's Navigator

Right now, every state resource lives on startup.utah.gov. It's comprehensive. It's overwhelming.

Reimagine how a founder actually finds what they need in under two minutes. Whether that's an AI chatbot, a smart filtering interface, a guided quiz, or something nobody's thought of yet — make it fast, make it personal, make it impossible to get lost in.

Portion 2

The Utah Startup Map

Show the world what's being built here.

An interactive, visual map of every business in Utah's startup ecosystem — beautiful enough to project on a screen in front of international investors and useful enough for a founder to find their next customer, partner, or acquisition.
