Recognizing the need to promote area startups and spotlight the Sacramento region as a startup hub, the City of Elk Grove is presenting its inaugural startup pitch event — Pitch Elk Grove. Pitch Elk Grove will provide innovative, investable startups with the opportunity to showcase their companies in person at a pitch event to take place Thursday, March 31, 2022, in Elk Grove.
The Pitch Elk Grove event process will include an initial selection of up to 16 semi-finalist startups who will move on to the semi-finalist pitch-off — a virtual event to determine up to eight finalists that will present IN-PERSON in Elk Grove at the final event.
