Most my experience has been with startups and I just love the ideas and energy that comes out when you have a small team of smart people building something they think can change the world. Once you get a taste for that, it’s addicting…

LaunchUp is a labor of love for Jeremy Hanks, entrepreneur extraordinaire and the hardest working man in show business. I originally met Jeremy through the Utah Tech Council. He’s a co-founder and chairman of Doba, quite passionate about startups and genuinely doing everything he can to help young local companies from the goodness of his heart.

Ask me about 'Curve Boulders'

I love me some launchup and I’ve only missed one so far because of a schedule conflict.

Most of these start ups are making software. Agile methods represent the opportunity for accelerating and scaling their efforts. I’ve watched many teams learn these lessons the hard way.

If you are local to Utah, I encourage you to get out and get involved with LaunchUp to help the startups with feedback or maybe even join or start one yourself. Worst case, you’ll catch the bug and want to build something.

If you are there tonight, you’ll also have a chance to win a registration to Agile Roots.

If you make it, say ‘Hi’.
