Jeff Burningham

Jeff Burningham has started, run, or been an early investor in over a dozen companies. He got his start building a tech startup as an undergrad and then selling it to a NASDAQ-listed company. Later, he cofounded Peak Capital Partners, a real estate investment firm with over $5 billion in assets, and Peak Ventures, one of Utah’s premier early-stage VC firms.

In 2020, Jeff ran for governor in Utah and now sits on the boards of many of the companies he’s invested in, mentoring some of Utah’s brightest and best entrepreneurs. He also hosts a podcast, champions various philanthropic efforts, and teaches a college class on entrepreneurship to thousands of students.

What’s most important to him are the moments and memories, big and small, shared with his soulmate Sally and their four children (plus one grandchild!)—whether that’s wakesurfing, skiing, or just laughing and exploring the mysteries of the Universe together.
