40 Under 40 spotlight: Victoria Vergara, CEO at Wilkinsons. Victoria Vergara is the CEO and main sales force for Wilkinson’s, one of Utah’s top choices for awards, apparel and promo. Not many can say they became CEO at 23 years old, but Tori is unrelenting in living out her legacy: “To show the ladies that we can be bold, we can be in charge, and we can overcome impossible challenges.” Before her 25th birthday, she reached over $2 million in sales personally, because, as she believes, proper CEOs should lead by example. Oh… did we mention that Wilkinson’s swag was repped by Dwayne Wade? On top of being a self-motivated leader, Tori mentors kids in the Provo CAPS (Center for Advanced Professional Studies) program and is an active sponsor and participant with RaYnbow Collective non-profit.

40 Under 40 Spotlight: Matt Clayton, Founder of Slope School ⛷️ Slope School is working to make the most innovative, child-centered schools in the world, with Utah being the light on the hill for what’s possible in K-12 education. Matt was inspired by the discovery of Acton Academy (where he functioned as COO), a string of mega-fun microschools that “didn’t quite feel like a school; it felt like a workshop run by young people, with brilliant design and an overarching storyline that made it all possible.” Matt and his team started the first Slope School (which is part of the Acton Academy network) near the mouth of Provo Canyon in 2019. Matt Clayton and Slope School are empowering children to become the world-changers they are destined to be. Comment “40 Under 40” for the link to his full article.

Sweet dreams are made of these… 😴 Owlet Baby Care’s FDA-cleared Dream Sock and BabySat — the parent peace-of-mind medical devices. Dream Sock is a medical pulse oximetry solution for infants, no prescription needed. And “the BabySat pulse oximetry monitoring system combines hospital-grade accuracy with Owlet’s modern and wire-free sock design, and is intended for infants between 1-18 months and 6-30 lbs with acute or chronic medical conditions,” says Owlet. “Owlet has positively impacted customers by providing real-time, medical grade health monitoring for their babies, offering the utmost peace of mind through live vital readings,” says CEO and Co-Founder Kurt Workman. “With even more accurate and detailed information on their baby’s well-being, parents can rely on these devices for reassurance and potential detection of health issues, reducing unnecessary emergency visits and creating a sense of understanding and control over their child’s health.” Owlet also recently rolled out a new telehealth feature powered by Wheel “that allows for quick virtual appointments and prescriptions for BabySat to enhance accessibility and reimbursement options,” says Kurt. As of June, Dream Sock is available in the UK and several European countries and is planning on expanding its global footprint even more. This year, Owlet has also experienced a 60% increase in consumer demand, and has donated over $1.4 million in product and charitable support to like-minded organizations. From its founding in 2012 to now, Lehi’s Owlet is giving sweet dreams to parents and their babies. #owlet #dreamsock #siliconslopes #babysat #infanthealthmonitoring

40 Under 40 Honoree: Tyler Hogge, Venture Partner at Pelion Venture Partners Tyler Hogge’s mission? To invest in and help build exceptional startups. The job title may sound simple, but the impact is immense. Pelion Venture Partners’ portfolio includes Divvy from BILL, Owlet Baby Care, Weave, Entrata, Lucid Software and so many more startups whose reach have spread well beyond Utah — and Tyler is a critical part of the team. Tyler’s resume also includes leading the product and risk organizations at Divvy for four years through the acquisition by BILL for $2.5 billion. He’s kind of a big deal (and so are the relationships made through Pelion) — but his focus is on helping startups, rather than shining a spotlight on himself. Read his full story at the link in our bio. Photo by Dani Corbett at Bridle Up Hope. #pelion #venturecapital #venturepartner #40under40 #utahvalleybusiness #siliconslopes
