== Regional and local economic development efforts ==
Nevada and Northern Nevada in particular have a wealth of programs dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial efforts. Mentoring and advice are available from the following groups, among many others:
*Matt Westfield, Nevada's Entrepreneur in Residence, is a founder of both the '''Entrepreneurs' Assembly''', an intensive entrepreneurship training and networking course, and '''Startup Growth Strategies, Inc.''', a consulting firm for early-stage companies.
*The '''Reno-Tahoe Young Professionals Network''' organizes Raise the Bar Social Mixers, Power Lunches, and other networking events toward the mission of cultivating "an informed and involved young professional community in the Truckee Meadows in order to retain and attract young and diverse talent."
*The '''Nevada Microenterprise Initiative '''provides entrepreneurial training, technical assistance, and access to loans for startups, especially those started by low- to moderate-income individuals in Nevada.
Other groups provide angel funding and investment sources; these include '''Sierra Angels''', '''Battle Born Venture''', and others.
