Join Us for the 7th Annual Sacramento Entrepreneurial State of the Union
Part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025, powered by Western Health Advantage

​We’re kicking off Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025 with a high-impact gathering of the region’s leading ecosystem builders, innovators, founders, funders, and civic champions. The Sacramento Entrepreneurial State of the Union is our flagship event, setting the tone for a week filled with dynamic workshops, pitch events, and programming designed to elevate entrepreneurship across the Capital Region.

​Now in its seventh year, this convening will explore the state of our regional innovation and startup ecosystem—what's working, what’s emerging, and what’s needed next.

​Hosted by the Sacramento Entrepreneurial Growth Alliance (SEGA), this year’s event will spotlight how we’re growing our ecosystem from within—strengthening local connectivity, cultivating a culture of collaboration, and building a more inclusive capital stack to fuel bold ideas from all corners of our community.

Discussions in the event:

  • ​Ecosystem Development and the Why it Matters for our Region – Discussion Led by Cameron Law
  • ​Expanding Health and Life Sciences Innovation through Capital, Infrastructure, and Talent – Panel led by Monique Brown
  • ​Growing and fostering a Regional Hub for AI R&D and Commercialization – Panel led by HMCI

​Key Themes:

  • ​Investing in our region’s homegrown founders
  • ​Expanding access to early-stage capital and mentorship
  • ​Strengthening ecosystem infrastructure to drive inclusive growth
  • ​Strategic collaboration across sectors to power innovation-driven economic development

​Whether you're a founder, investor, policymaker, or partner in building the future of our region, this is your front-row seat to Sacramento’s entrepreneurial momentum—and a launchpad for what’s ahead.
