Changes

Though the city of Davis itself doesn’t have a terribly strong foothold in the entrepreneurial world, we are located next to our state’s capital, where opportunities are growing exponentially. Several events and activities in Sacramento encourage entrepreneurs to come together - the Startup Digest, Startup Grind, Code 4 Sacramento, Sacramento Game Devs, Women who Code, Women in Data, Square Root Academy, StartupSac, Operation Innovate, Health 2.0, and Yellow Circle are just a few examples. Sacramento based coworking spaces include The Workshop, Workflow Lounge, Innogrove, The Makers Place, Suite 210, The Blocs, the McClellan Innovation Center, the Hacker Lab, the Urban Hive, and Amen Coworking. As far as accelerators and incubators go, residents from around the region can seek support from CleanStart, Green Screen Institute, Founder Academy, Founder Institute, FourthWave, Willow Tree Roots, Sacramento Entrepreneurship Academy, AgStart, MedStart, Video Lab West, and Davis Roots. Civic programs include MedZone, RAILS, SUTL, the Mayor’s Office for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, SBA, SBDC, GSEC, Sacramento iHub, and Tech Futures Group. Funding opportunities can be found through Impact Venture Capital, Central Valley Fund, AGR Partners, Akers Capital, Silicon Bay Partners, Sierra Angels, Sacramento Angels, Almond Tree Capital, the Davis Funding Club, DCS Capital, Blacktop Capital, Haney Biz, Black Angel Tech Fund, and Moneta Ventures.
