A 12-week program to help Sacramento’s District 2 residents take their startup idea from concept to launch.
StartupSac is launching a new District 2 cohort of its entrepreneur training program this summer. This 12-week course is designed for people who have a startup idea they’ve been working on but haven’t yet launched. The program guides participants through every stage of building a business—from validating the idea to creating a plan and taking the first real steps. Applications are open now and due by June 13, 2025.
This is our second FastTrac cohort of 2025. A third cohort, launching this fall, will be open to all residents of the City of Sacramento (sign up to be notified when applications for fall open). The District 2 cohort is made possible through a grant from Golden 1 Credit Union and sponsorship from the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. It is open exclusively to individuals who live in Sacramento’s District 2.
Empowering Entrepreneurs in District 2
Sessions will be held Wednesday evenings from July 9 through October 8, 2025, primarily at 1913 (1913 Del Paso Blvd, Sacramento). Some sessions may take place virtually via Zoom.
Participants will gain access to experienced mentors, a proven curriculum, and a supportive peer community. The program covers key business topics including legal structure, customer discovery, business planning, and funding options. Whether you’re just starting out or already working on a business idea, this training can help you move forward with confidence.
A Grant-Powered Opportunity
This program is funded by a grant from Golden 1 Credit Union as part of a broader initiative to support economic growth and opportunity in Del Paso Heights. StartupSac is one of 42 organizations selected to expand services in the neighborhood.
