Good Works Ventures

For those of you who are not from Missoula, the name of our group may catch you by surprise. We have a canyon at east side of town named Hellgate Canyon.  The Hellgate winds are said to blow through this canyon with a vengeance on certain winter nights.  So when Paul Gladen of Muzeview, Inc. and I decided to incarnate our social networking group in support of CEO solidarity in Western Montana, the name Hellgate Venture Network seemed entirely appropriate.

The Hellgate Venture Network facilitates social networking both online and offline amongst entrepreneurs and advisors engaged in building growth businesses in Western Montana.  

If you are an entrepreneur, a wanna be, or someone who offers support and guidance to this unique breed of individual, please consider joining our group at one of our ongoing monthly meetings.   

In the summer of HVN, Hellgate Venture Network Members weighed in on Missoula's economic development Best Place Project.  Find it here:
