Shasta County is right for so many — are we right for you and your startup?

Redding is such a wonderful place for people to create new startups
“I stumbled into 3D concrete printing and saw that you could print a home with this giant robot, and my mind just kind of got blown. There have been lots of unexpected things along this journey, but knowing that families will have homes is the massive reward that makes it all worth it.”

MATTHEW GILE, FOUNDER of EMERGENT

I wouldn't be successful at this level if I hadn't started in Shasta County

“California is one of the largest economies in the world and there’s a ton of advantages to starting a business in Shasta County. The economics are fantastic, we have some really sharp talent, and we are in perfect striking distance to the bay area and the L.A. Basin.”

SEAN WEAVER, CEO of TECHNISOIL INDUSTRIAL

This is a great place to do business and we wouldn't go anywhere else

“Our employees feel that they are a part of something important to the community, and when we give them a family-wage job they settle down and love it here. It’s been a great place for us to be based out of.”

DARYL MASS, CEO of MAAS ENERGY WORKS

It's beautiful the possibilities Redding offers small business owners

“It’s wild to think of where we’ve come from in the past 3 –4 years. Redding is in a really cool place. Every week new entrepreneurs, new businesses, and new creatives are popping up and it’s really beautiful to see.”

ELIZABETH WRIGHT, FOUNDER of THE MAKERY & ABODE

I believe we'll be the top family-dining brand in the country

“We’re growing nationwide. We’ve had people tell us we need to be in a bigger city, but this is where our heart, passion, and soul is. We’re going to be a big nationwide presence still headquartered here.”

BRUCE DEAN, CO-FOUNDER of BLACK BEAR DINER
