Join us for Startup Happy Hour powered by StartupSac and the Carlsen Center with EV Life and EyeRate, startups who won local pitch contests.
StartupSac and the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sac State welcome two successful startup founders for June's Startup Happy Hour, EV Life co-founder Kevin Favro, and EyeRate co-founder Ray Weisman.
Both startups were launched locally and leveraged resources available in our community to advance their companies. In March, EV Life took the $10,000 first place prize at Pitch Elk Grove, and in April, EyeRate took the $10,000 first place prize at Kings Capitalize .
Join us on Zoom to get the inside scoop on how to take advantage of local startup resources to gain traction and move your startup forward!
About EV Life: Founded in 2019, EV Life’s mission is to connect people with opportunities to build a safer, more sustainable world. The company’s first product is a web platform that makes it easier to find and finance an electric car. EV Life does this through a user-friendly interface that brings together car shopping tools, charging and range calculators, and an EV Climate Loan that saves drivers up to $200 per month on financing.
About EyeRate: EyeRate began in 2019 in co-founders Michael and Mitchell Arredondo's garage with assistance from Mike Pieri and Raymond Weisberg. All 4 worked low wage jobs from restaurants to car washes. Today, EyeRate is creating a new category of business that helps employees earn more for high performance. EyeRate is backed by The City of Elk Grove, Jason Calacanis, LAUNCH, and Mucker Capital.
