It’s probably not too bold of a statement to say that the biggest single startup resource in the Sacramento ecosystem is UC Davis. Need proof? Just check out their recently released the UC Davis 2018-2019 Innovation and Technology Commercialization Report. You should definitely check out the full report but check this out, in 2018, UC Davis brought in over $800 million in research funding, disclosed 154 inventions and launched 14 startup companies.
