2026 Tim Draper Utah Entrepreneur Challenge Final Awards & Showcase

Hey there. We're here at the Tim Draper Utah Entrepreneur Challenge at the Land Studios at the University of Utah. And it's been a phenomenal day already. We showed up with 20 teams from all over the state. Not just great entrepreneurs with great projects, but really amazing companies that are going to really make a difference out there. Hi, my name is Bley Tutton and I'm the owner and founder of Redway Solutions and we provide sustainable medical waste management services. Hi, my name is Patrick Roberts. I'm the founder of Minor Inconveniences LLC. We uh are creating an original card game, Minor Inconveniences, the game of wishing your friends mildly bad luck. Um, this is a simple organic prompt response game in memory and honor of my cousin and co-creator Theten. — Hi, my name is Leah. I'm from Enzyme College and I'm the founder of Primereers. Prime Breeders produces bird for meat and protein consumption and creates employment in Zimbabwe. This award simply means that I'm going to contribute positively in my society. And I'm so happy because I get to contribute into another father being able to afford for education for their child. And that makes me so happy. So, $20,000 is going to help me invest in 6,000 birds, which is going to generate for me 77,000 by the end of this year. That will help me create my own hitchery and I can be able to provide employment the beginning of next year. So, I'm so excited.
