Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Steve Jurvetson has already proven himself in Silicon Valley as an alpha venture capitalist. Among his many successful bets was Hotmail, the e-mail service acquired by Microsoft back in 1997, making e-mail free for the masses and cementing Jurvetson’s reputation as a high-tech seer.

Venture capitalists look for startups like Hotmail because these companies are disruptive – they blow up existing markets and create big new money-making opportunities.
