Tim Layton co-founded Sorenson Capital and helped architect its strategy as a Utah-based growth equity and buyout platform, working alongside figures like Steve Young and Fraser Bullock to raise a $250 million first-time fund focused on lower middle-market companies at a time when large institutional funds based in Utah were rare. He serves as a judge for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards and is recognized as one of the original partners who built Sorenson Capital's institutional capital ecosystem in the state.

Sorenson Capital was founded in Utah in 2003 by former Bain Capital partner Fraser Bullock, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young, and entrepreneur Ron Mika, evolving from a middle-market buyout shop into a specialized early- and growth-stage venture platform for B2B software while maintaining its private equity DNA as a crossover investor. The firm differentiates itself by building and applying a repeatable, data-driven go-to-market playbook across four focused software verticals—Cybersecurity, Application software, DevTools & Computing Infrastructure, and Artificial Intelligence—providing hands-on operational GTM support including hiring leadership and refining sales motions rather than only strategic oversight.
