MaTt Mead
Former Governor of Wyoming & Co-Founder Emeritus
“Where you find one blade of grass, leave two.”
“It is my hope that the Summit will continue to bring people from all over the world to create, innovate and utilize their technology in the state of Wyoming and beyond.”
Determined to see Wyoming’s economy thrive by solving problems inherent to rural peoples, Matt turned to John Temte and Jack Selby. They founded the Jackson Hole Technology Partnership -- a global nonprofit tasked to find cutting edge technologies relevant to rural people and accelerate their accessibility globally – and began recruiting dedicated volunteers and welcoming generous donors.
Over the years, Matt, the Jackson Hole Technology Partnership and Wyoming legislators carefully laid the foundation for a prosperous high tech economy to take root in Wyoming and give young graduates, entrepreneurs and startups a new chance to build solid careers, exciting lives and happy families in Wyoming.
That foundation is quietly attracting substantial high-tech companies and startups to Wyoming, as never before.
