Calling All Sacramento Innovation Stakeholders! Do you support the Mayor’s initiatives to support entrepreneurship in Sacramento? Tuesday is your time to show that support.
As many of you have been following, it’s a very exciting time to be part of Sacramento’s Innovation Community. Last week, the City’s Budget & Audit Committee unanimously approved the Innovation & Growth Fund policies. Now the finish line is within sight and your help is needed to show your support for these landmark policies next Tuesday, June 21st at 6pm at Sacramento City Hall when the City Council will consider final approval of the Innovation & Growth Fund.
These policies would authorize the distribution of $1 million annually in grants for accelerators/incubators, community organizations, and educational programs that advance innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship in the City. Please come out and show your support. It shouldn’t take more than an hour of your time.
