| Description: |
The Velocity Venture Entrepreneurial Drive Golf Tournament. brings investors and startup executives together for what could be a lot more than a great day of golf for both.
As investors play the 18-hole tournament, they hear quick pitches from startup companies right on the tee-box. Bringing investors and entrepreneurs together attracted top tier sponsors and more than 120 golfers to the tournament last year, raising $10,000 for non-profit organizations that support entrepreneurship in the Sacramento region.
The Entrepreneurial Drive was the vision of Jack Crawford, Jr., of Velocity Venture Capital. Since 2005, Velocity has been investing in seed and early-stage technology companies with an emphasis on clean tech companies.
“This year, Velocity Venture Capital has teamed up with a partner for the event, Entrepreneurs’ Organization of Sacramento (EO – Sacramento). The worldwide non-profit organization with over 7,000 members and chapters in 38 countries, will enable this successful group of proven entrepreneurs to interact with the next wave of entrepreneurs in the Sacramento region.”
The tournament is generously supported by a number of regional top tier businesses that contribute to technology ecosystem with professional services that are essential to the growth and development of young companies. Banks, legal firms, accounting firms, device manufacturers recruiters and others, round out investors and venture firms as sponsors and golfers participating in the event.
Lining up sponsors may not be easy in this uncertain economy, but Crawford is hopeful.
“It is more important than ever for companies to reinforce and expand their networks. This event attracts some of the most influential organizations, corporations and investors from Sacramento – and for this year’s event, Silicon Valley. It’s the best place for their brands to be if they plan to be a part of the local tech and energy economy going forward.”
The tournament begins with a trade-show luncheon 10:30 a.m., and the shotgun start is at noon.
