Ecosystem
HAVN SLX, Salt Lake City’s new coworking, wellness, and community club, has launched a Startup Scholarship that will award one Utah-based startup six months of fully furnished private office space and full access to HAVN’s amenities. The program is aimed at early-stage founders and is valued at more than $15,000.
The SLX location at 470 W 200 North offers 18,000 square feet of coworking and private offices, a fitness center, yoga room, meeting rooms, and a rooftop clubhouse with pool. HAVN is also preparing to open a second location in Lehi in the coming months.
Applications are open until December 14, 2025. Five finalists will be selected by HAVN members at a private event, and those teams will pitch live at HAVN SLX on January 8, 2026. The winner will be chosen by audience vote.
Eligibility requirements: Utah-based startups at the pre-seed or seed stage, with less than $750,000 raised and at least two full-time team members.
The scholarship includes a dedicated private office for up to four people, access to HAVN’s wellness and fitness facilities, coworking areas, events, and programming. HAVN positions the program as an extension of its focus on in-person community, founder support, and combating isolation among early-stage teams. The goal is to give young companies a professional environment and a network of peers to accelerate their progress.
Earlier this month, HAVN hosted Convoi Ventures' Demo Day which featured 20 founders who pitched to VCs, angel investors, and an audience of over 150 attendees. "Nearly every VC in Utah was represented," said HAVN's Founder and CEO, Austin Vegh.
Vegh continued, explaining the rationale for creating HAVN:
"We built HAVN so founders don’t have to build alone. Giving away six months of office space is our way of investing directly in Utah’s next great startup. When you put ambitious people in the right environment, they move faster. We combined the best parts of a luxury coworking space, a wellness club, and a vibrant social community to make that happen. Our members aren’t just working here; they are launching companies, forming lasting friendships, hosting events, and building momentum together. We want one Utah startup to feel that same lift."
He added, "Look out for our new HAVN coworking space in Lehi with a meditation room and rooftop pool. It will open in February 2026."
