Welcome to the Sacramento Startup Digest!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday and spending some time reflecting on the birth of our nation. I’m completely unplugged all week long in the beautiful Eldorado National Forest! No cell service, no wifi!

In the spirit of the holiday, I’m keeping this week’s message short (and maybe a little sweet).

The big news is the City of Sacramento RAILS grant program. There is $1.5 million up for grabs for for groups that drive acceleration, innovation & leadership for startups. Ash Roughani is leading a meeting on Wednesday at The Urban Hive where he’ll answer questions about the grants and the application process. If you plan to apply, you should be there!

There’s lots of great stuff going on in the tech startup community (even this week)–check out the details below. If you’ve organized (or know about) an event we have not included, please submit it here for consideration.
