The vSpring v|100, The 2009 Top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs in Utah

Since 2004, each year vSpring Capital has announced the Top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs in Utah. According to the firm, "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. These nominees are then asked to vote amongst themselves based on the same criteria. Those nominees who garner the most votes from their peers in this second step of the annual voting process are then elected into the v100 and become members of this ongoing community of entrepreneurial leaders."  The original press release can be found here

The 2009 v|100 included Nicole Toomey Davis, for the fifth time (2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009)
