Finalists Announced for September StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch

Following the success of our first three StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch competitions StartupSac is organizing our next pitch event, to be held Thursday, September 12. A few weeks ago we put out another call for applicants and once again received some very strong applications. We limit the event to 5-6 startups out of the pool that applied. After reviewing the applicants for this round, we once again selected the companies that are furthest along in product launch and revenue. We’re happy to announce the following local startups as the next cohort of StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch:

Egeria

Egeria is democratizing public funding. Their platform streamlines public private partnerships and provides a single source of truth when it comes to government business.

EyeRate

EyeRate is a consumer reviews platform reinvented. They provide on-demand customer reviews at the point of sale and manage the customer experience in real time.

Harmony Legal

Harmony Legal is a cloud-based law firm practice management solution. They build software for law firms to help them run more efficiently and manage their cases, clients, employees, and all the little tasks that suck away time.

Japa

Japa delivers real-time parking availability to drivers and enhanced parking analytics to parking lot owners/management.

PestScope

PestScope is a real time pest mapping and integrated pest management information system service.

Congratulations to each of these startups! We look forward to working with them over the next several weeks to prepare them for StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch and to pitch to investors.

About StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch

In 2018 StartupSac launched StartupSac Warm-Up Pitch, an event designed to help near investment-ready startups hone their presentations skills and pitch decks. The idea is simple. A cohort of Sacramento region startups is selected to attend workshops and practice sessions and then compete for a prize package in front of a panel of judges and an audience of investors, mentors and other key players in Sacramento startup ecosystem.

The event has been a great success and we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the startups as well as the investors in attendance. Through these three events we’ve provided 19 local startups with the opportunity to hone their investor pitches and connect with investors.
