The Northern California Venture Conference is quickly approaching. This event will bring together founders, investors, financial professionals, and business leaders May 7th in Redding. The focus will be on startups emerging outside Silicon Valley and traditional tech hubs with a cash prize awarded to the top presenting company.
Across Northern California, founders are building companies in small cities and underserved markets, often without the visibility of larger startup ecosystems. At the same time, regional investors, financial professionals, and business leaders are increasingly looking for investment opportunities closer to home. This conference is designed to bring these groups together for connection, insight, and potential investment.
“We want people to walk away from the Northern California Venture Conference inspired, connected, and motivated to build. Any leader who believes in growing our local economy, this is a room you want to be in.”
— Rebecca Baer, President and CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Shasta County
“The Venture Conference exists to promote the idea that more is possible for our region and to create a space where momentum can grow. It brings together the broader business community, from bankers and CPAs, to doctors and real estate investors. The leaders in our community need to connect with our region’s founders.”
— Eric Hiatt, Executive Director of the Shasta Angels Investment Group
The Northern California Venture Conference is intentionally structured as a one-day gathering with limited space to prioritize relevance and efficiency. It represents one of the only opportunities this year to engage directly with Northern California’s startup and investment ecosystem in a meaningful, in-person setting. Tickets are available and the application to pitch is now live at www.startupredding.com/venture.
