InnoVentures Capital and Utah Small Business Loan Fund lend to eLearning Brothers

 November 8, 2016

 eLearning Brothers received a $250,000 loan from the Utah Small Business Loan Fund.  eLearning Brothers  began in 2009 like many startups do—in a basement and with a great idea. Co-founder Shawn Scivally started making eLearning games and template designs while working from home and sold them online. His brother, the other co-founder, Andrew, helped out at night and on the weekends until he joined full-time in 2010. Between the two of them, they believed that they had the skills and knowledge to put together interactive, engaging, and inspiring content to help others enhance their eLearning courses. And they were right!

 2016 was a banner year for recognition of eLearning Brothers – Inc. 5,000 Rank #888, Utah Best of State, #7 Fastest Growing in Utah County and five industry awards just in 2016!  http://elearningbrothers.com/ “It is a real privilege to be a small part of eLearning Brothers’ growth, said Steve Grizzell.”

I am off to Egypt and meet with entrepreneurs at Startup Cairo.  I am really interested in seeing how the entrepreneurship scene in Egypt compares to Utah.  The Egyptian entrepreneurial environment looks pretty tough from an outsider’s novice view.

Sam Stoddard is the founder of Simple Citizen, a startup business that may have won more student business plan competitions than any one else in the United States.  Sam traveled to India, thought about his future and decided not to take a job offer at a prestigious accounting firm but to start his own business.  He has since gone on to raise a round of funding from the Kickstart Fund and is off to California to join Y Combinator, the second accelerator has gone to.  Listen to some of his story and hints.
