vSpring Capital has announced the 2007 class of the vSpring Capital Top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs, also known as the v|100.

vSpring Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in information technology and life science companies. With offices in Utah and New Mexico, it has $260 million under management.

The v|100 was created in 2004 by vSpring Capital as a tool to recognize outstanding entrepreneurs who have ties to the state of Utah. Members of the v|100 become part of a community of entrepreneurs that fosters collaboration and provides advantages in building and growing companies. Each year, vSpring asks members of the Utah business community to nominate individuals who are most likely to lead a successful startup venture in the next five to seven years in the IT (information technology) or biotech industries in a chief executive or chief technical officer role. Those nominees who garner the most votes from their peers in this second step of the annual voting process are then elected into the v|100.

"The v|100 community of entrepreneurs continues to be an indication of the abundance of one of the most important factors of production in our region; human capital," said Ed Ekstrom, managing director of vSpring Capital. "This year's results are especially interesting with the creation of an audit committee consisting of David Jolley at Ernst & Young, Mark Bonham at Wilson Sonsini and Professor Scott Schaefer at the University of Utah. Their oversight of the nomination and voting process brings a level of credibility which highly validates this v|100 class for their accomplishments."

"The v|100 process is unique in that members are selected not by a committee or a panel of judges, but by their peers," said Professor Scott Schaefer from the University of Utah and member of the audit committee who oversees the selection process. "This gives the results a unique and compelling validity."

This year's list of winners consists of several multi-successful entrepreneurs including Kevin Rollins, former CEO of Dell, Inc. Mr. Rollins will address the v|100 community at an exclusive member's luncheon on June 14.

The 2007 class of the v|100 is the result of a community-nominated, peer-selected group of the top technology and biotech entrepreneurs in the state which includes a unique combination of experienced leaders and dynamic young entrepreneurs. The 2007 class of the v|100 employ more than 100,000 individuals and have raised a collective $3.5 billion in financing over the course of their careers.

A complete list of members in the 2007 v|100 is enclosed below. Be advised that positions/companies noted were current as of the date of the compilation of the 2007 v|100 list of members. For additional information about the v|100 or vSpring Capital, contact vSpring's Dennis Wood at 801-942-8999(wk) or dennis@vspring.com.
