Startup Sac: “FourthWave’s Fabulous First Cohort Launches with Community Dinner & Celebration”
Dozens of Sacramento’s women innovators and entrepreneurs filled the second floor restaurant of VEG Cafe & Bar at the corner of J and 24th last evening, along with a handful of men, to celebrate the launch of FourthWave’s first cohort of female founders. The energy and spirit of collaboration, camaraderie, and community was palpable in the small, intimate setting as people mingled and got to know each other.
FourthWave, originally known as Elevate Project, is the brainchild of LA’s Nancy Perlman, who brought the idea to Sacramento as a RAILS grant project to catalyze the growth of women-led technology companies in the Sacramento region. Their focus is “capital readiness,” developing conscious leaders, and aligning their programs with the unique needs of entrepreneurs and their communities, as well as with the emerging technology sectors of the regional economy.
