Person

Who this is

Ed Ekstrom of Intel Capital gave the horizontal-infrastructure company the advice venture reality demanded: pick a single vertical. Jonathan Hare chose healthcare — it touched every sector, was a fifth of the economy, and suffered exactly the structural coordination failure the privacy architecture existed to solve. Ekstrom later returned to Utah with vSpring Capital, opening the record's deep corridor into the Utah and LDS technology ecosystem — Steve Lund, Richard Dick, Tom Stockham, Marsali Hancock, Dinesh Patel among the names the compilation carries.
