The Founder's Navigator
An AI-powered chat interface that understands who you are — veteran founder, first-time entrepreneur, international investor — and surfaces the exact GOEO resources, funding programs, and ecosystem connections you need. No more digging through PDFs.
The Utah Startup Map
An interactive visual map of Utah's startup ecosystem — 302 companies plotted by sector, stage, and location. Filter by what you're looking for. Click a pin to see the company's profile, funding stage, and hiring status.
Utah's ecosystem,
as a living graph.
Behind the map and the chat is a knowledge graph — companies connected to resources, resources connected to personas, personas connected to outcomes. The MCP server exposes this graph to any AI agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol.
Schema is production-ready. Edge tables are wired; population via data pipeline ships in Phase 2.
Utah's ecosystem is natively queryable by global AI agents.
Open Claude Desktop. Configure our MCP server URL. Ask: "What startup resources are available for a veteran founder in Ogden, Utah?" — and Claude queries our live database, returns structured results, and cites specific GOEO programs. No API key. No scraping. Native intelligence.
From hackathon to
world-class platform.
The architecture is built to scale. What you see today is Phase 1. The contract pitch is for Phase 2 and beyond — rivaling Hub71, Invest in Dubai, and Israel's Startup Nation Central.
