Amplēo Is Partnering with Silicon Slopes to Support Start School

Utah’s entrepreneurial community just got a little stronger.

Ampleo is proud to support Start School, a free entrepreneurship program launched by Silicon Slopes in partnership with Mountain America Credit Union. Open to anyone willing to show up and build, Start School carries no tuition, requires no equity, and sets no barriers to entry — because access to real business education and mentorship shouldn’t depend on your funding or your connections.

Start School is built for a new era of entrepreneurship, one where AI enables solo founders to build what once required large teams and significant capital. The program centers on practical execution, real-world support, and community-driven growth, guided by two core principles: show up consistently, and give more than you take.

This partnership is a natural fit for who we are and what we believe. Amplēo brings seasoned fractional executives and embedded operators to the program, giving early-stage founders access to the kind of leadership and mentorship they couldn’t otherwise afford. PR Newswire

As Joe Grover, Chief Growth Officer at Amplēo, put it: “Amplēo’s mission is to build a world where significantly more startups and small businesses survive and thrive. The failure rates for small businesses are unacceptably high, and what Silicon Slopes and Start School are doing is perfectly aligned with our vision for entrepreneurship in Utah.”

Start School is part of Silicon Slopes’ broader vision of Entrepreneurship for the 99% — the belief that the tools, mentorship, and community needed to build a business should be available to everyone.
