## Summary

Startup State is the official Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity portal for Utah entrepreneurs. The site frames itself as a statewide entrepreneurship brand and business resource portal for people starting, growing, building, funding, connecting, and exiting businesses in Utah.
