“The SEGA initiative builds on the foundation laid by a dedicated group of stakeholders in the region, who have been instrumental in nurturing the startup ecosystem,” Co-Chair and Executive Director of the Carlsen Center, Cameron Law said. “The newly enhanced SEGA will continue to meet quarterly, ensuring that its members maintain a singular purpose and work together to achieve shared regional goals.

“GSEC, alongside its partners, is committed to making the Greater Sacramento region a vibrant hub of innovation and entrepreneurship across all industries,” Greater Sacramento Economic Council President & CEO Barry Broome said. “With SEGA powered by GSEC, the future is promising for startups in the region, and together, we are on a path to drive unprecedented growth and success. I’m looking forward to expanding our startup ecosystem throughout the region.”
The entrepreneurship community through SEGA will develop a new entrepreneurial vertical within the GSEC organization, which we will launch together with our next strategic plan. G
The initiative will continue to improve access to funding for startups by highlighting investors during events and meetings, inviting SEGA members to participate in investor introduction calls, and facilitating pitch opportunities between startups and investors.
“As the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 Award Winner, continuing to support a startup ecosystem is critical as we look to expand job creation in the Sacramento region,” Co-Founder of Clutch Rachel Zillner said. “The entrepreneurial spirit is alive, and this initiative shines a light on the work of startups and helping them find better access to venture capital funding.
