Pitch Elk Grove

Join us as Northern California’s most promising startups compete live on stage for their share of $20,000 in prize money!

Pitch Elk Grove is Northern California’s premier startup pitch competition — a high-energy celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional economic development.

Launched in 2022 by Invest Elk Grove, the City of Elk Grove’s Office of Economic Development, in collaboration with StartupSac, Pitch Elk Grove was created to spotlight the Sacramento region as a thriving hub for startups.

But it’s more than just a pitch event — it’s also a chance to showcase Elk Grove’s unique identity. From locally crafted beer and wine to catering from some of our favorite restaurants, Pitch Elk Grove is proud to feature the businesses that make our city special.

Whether you're a founder, investor, or community supporter, this is your opportunity to experience the energy of our growing startup ecosystem and discover the local flavors and talent that make Elk Grove such a vibrant place to live and do business.

On September 3, up to eight standout startups will take the stage to pitch their ventures live to a panel of expert judges and an audience of fellow founders, investors, and community leaders. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an innovation enthusiast, or just curious about what’s next — you’ll want to be in the room.

Brought to you in partnership with Invest Elk Grove, StartupSac, Explore Elk Grove, and Republic Services.
