Two Nevada County startups to present at Innovate Northstate gathering in Chico

Nevada County startups represent two of the five presenting companies at Innovate North State’s new Golden Triangle Capital Network launch event on May 6, according to the Economic Resource Council.

Traitware will make a 10-minute presentation while JobVille will be making a two-minute “elevator pitch.”

The Golden Triangle Capital Network serves as a catalyst for connecting capital and business opportunity in the Golden Triangle region of Northern California, which includes Chico, Redding, Nevada County and the I-80 corridor.

“Considering the growing number and quality of start-up companies in the region overall, it’s especially pleasing that two of the five start-up companies being featured are from Nevada County,” stated ERC Executive Director Jon Gregory.

Individuals, businesses or entities who invest in start-ups, established companies or commercial real estate projects are invited guests and should RSVP to Justin Miller (Justin@innovate-northstate.com) as seating is limited to up to 40 individuals.
