NEWS AND NOTES
NOVEMBER VISIONARY VENTURES: MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM ATHLETE TO EXECUTIVE
The Teton region is home to many who consider themselves both retired athletes and entrepreneurs. "Yet transitioning to the corporate world can be as daunting as starting a new sport without any coaches or a playbook to fall back on," states Brittney Ziebell in this month's Visionary Ventures column. What lessons and disciplines from sports can be applied to starting a venture? Read this month's interview with Silicon Couloir Trustee Vijay Karia, retired professional tennis player and the Chief Digital Officer at Connect America, to explore this question.
THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

Liza has volunteered countless hours to empowering entrepreneurship in the Teton region, and Silicon Couloir would not be nearly as successful with out her devotion, passion, and support.
Thank you, Liza!

CONNECT WITH ILLA
Tana Hoffman, a former TEAMS mentee, mentor, and 2019 Pitch Day Audience Choice Award winner has been quietly working on a new venture over the past year, thanks to an opportunity that she attributes to continued support from Silicon Couloir. Her new venture, ILLA, is a member-driven collective for active women powered by AI. It is currently in beta in Denver and Jackson Hole. Tana is supported by her investment partner, VF Corporation (VANS, The Northface, Smartwool), and is always looking to connect (or ski!) with other founders, potential partners, and individuals with whom her vision resonates.
