Dalton Wright is a General Partner at Kickstart and, per Deseret News' 30 March 2023 report, runs the firm's Colorado office. His Kickstart biography page states that his roots with Kickstart go back to 2008 when he helped launch the fund, that he holds a BS from the University of Utah and an MBA and MA from Wharton and the Lauder Institute, and that he helped establish Mexico's first early-stage technology fund. He was quoted as a Partner at Kickstart in the firm's April 2020 announcement of its $110 million Fund V. He filed a Form 5 with the SEC on 14 February 2025 as a director of the then-private Angel Studios, Inc., reporting shares held indirectly through Kickstart Seed Fund II, LP and Kickstart Seed Fund V, LP. He is NOT listed as a director of Angel Studios, Inc. (NYSE: ANGX) following its September 2025 listing, either on the company's investor relations board page or in its definitive proxy statement dated 21 May 2026, and his own Kickstart biography page lists Angel under "Exits" rather than under "Board Director"; that directorship is therefore recorded as former and is not carried in boardSeats.
