Nearly all the biggest names in media and technology descended on Sun Valley this week. Also in the mix: spider silk, quantum physics and trucking networks.
Each year, the exclusive conference in Idaho, famous for its deal-making and tycoon crowd, spotlights a handful of young companies. The three startups set to present this Saturday are tackling problems far afield from the work of the television and film moguls strolling the resort: Bolt Threads Inc. makes bio-engineered fabrics; Rigetti Computing is building a quantum computer; and Convoy Inc. makes trucking software. The firms confirmed their participation but declined to comment further.
