Dalton Wright helped launch Mexico's first early-stage venture fund and worked on building clinical data research networks at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, giving him unusual experience creating venture ecosystems in emerging markets and at the intersection of healthcare and data infrastructure. He architected Kickstart's student-run Campus Founders Fund where he put investment decisions in the hands of university students while serving as their trainer and coach, and now leads Kickstart's expansion into Colorado as the general partner running their new office there.

Notable Investments
Kickstart was created in 2008 as Utah's first dedicated seed fund to solve a specific capital gap in the Mountain West, closing their first $8M fund during the 2008 recession and becoming synonymous with seed capital in the region. The firm runs a unique student-operated venture fund called Campus Founders Fund across 11 universities that creates a structured regional talent pipeline, with several student companies later graduating into Kickstart's main funds.
