StartupSac Happy Hour features Janine Yancey, Founder of Emtrain, who just raised $10 Million in growth funding.
We’re going virtual again with June’s StartupSac Happy Hour. This month we’re teaming up with the Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Sac State, as well as FourthWave, an accelerator for high potential, women-led technology businesses. FourthWave is opening applications for its next cohort this month. Our featured veteran entrepreneur will be Emtrain founder and CEO Janine Yancey, who participated in the first FourthWave cohort.
As founder and CEO of Emtrain, Janine innovated a unique technology platform that provides HR and compliance education, guidance and analytics to promote healthier organizations. Last month, Emtrain raised $10 million in growth funding to expand its interactive workforce training and feedback platform.
