What Others Say

"My VentureStart mentor told me to go sell stuff. And I did, and now I have found my market niche. I'll be in a much better position to go out for funding, or continue to grow the business organically”
Brett Owens, CEO, Chrometa

"As a mentor, there's great satisfaction in knowing you've made a difference in the success of a company in the region. One idea, one introduction, another set of experienced eyeballs to give a perspective on a product or plan can make a huge impact."
Dave Tanel, Mentor

"The VentureStart Program is not an academic exercise; it is savvy coaching from a support system of experienced entrepreneurs who are serious about building world-class technology companies in Sacramento. The standards are high and the aspirations are higher. VentureStart is an outstanding place to jump start your company's journey to funding."
Dave Stewart, CEO, Decision Detective.

Startups We Help

We are encouraging companies/startups to apply to the program that:

  • Are high growth and/or high technology
  • Expect revenues of more than $20M in 5 years
  • Have a sustainable advantage over potential or existing competitors (e.g., by patents, business deals, business model)
  • Are based in the Sacramento region or plan to have a presence in the Sacramento region
  • Have an executive summary and PowerPoint presentation available to submit with the application (it doesn’t have to be perfect, or even very polished; as long as it gives us some idea of your potential, that’s fine).

The VentureStart Resources web page contains examples and guidelines of Business Plans, PowerPoint presentations and much more. Feel free to use these resources as a template or model.
