It happened like this.

Annette MacIntyre, Salt Lake City inventor, and founder of Majelco Medical Inc. happened to be walking through the University of Utah hospital hallway (where she worked at the time) and saw a sign from Partners for Innovation, Ventures, Outreach & Technology (PIVOT) Center. She said, “There it was. Someone advertising help in setting up business ideas. There’s a person right there waiting for me. So I walked in. They were extremely helpful and did an invention disclosure right then and there.” Her invention came to life with a solid business plan attracting new investors. She also discovered WeRoc which supplied more inspiration and encouragement. It is where she met Salt Lake City’s Small Business Development Center. A podcast of her journey can be found in our StartupSLC podcast.

Founders of Z NECTAR Craft Beverages Sam and Emily Samuel had no background in the food industry. Sam said, “We had an idea and lots of passion. We just didn’t know how to go about doing this. We spent a lot of hours online looking for help with dispensed food businesses. Nothing really helped that much. Then we discovered SBDC. And they helped us write a plan.”  The SBDC connected Z NECTAR with similar businesses in the are who were willing to help them going in the right direction.
