Sacramento venture capital & startups
Sacramento Capital Region map — state-capital buyers, UC Davis agtech (Biome Makers, Scout, NuciCer), Rhombus security, GRIN creator CRM, and four local capital paths beyond Sacramento Angels alone.
Sacramento is not Bay Area overflow — it is govtech buyer density plus UC Davis agtech commercialization. We profile Rhombus, GRIN, HealthSherpa, Azra Games, NuciCer, Biome Makers, and Scout; local funds include Sacramento Angels, Growth Factory Ventures, Food & Health Angels, and Impact Venture Capital.
Aliases: sacramento, davis, ca, roseville. Not Bay Area. Davis HQ companies are in-scope.

Coverage gaps

OpenGov / Tyler-class govtech incumbents
State-capital adjacency creates govtech buyers — more Sacramento-HQ SaaS profiles still worth adding

-
AGR Partners / Almond Tree Capital
Regional ag/food capital worth future /fund/ pages when we expand Central Valley depth
-
Growth Factory Ventures
Greater Sacramento early-stage VC + studio (growthfactory.vc); LinkedIn lists Rocklin HQ — add when Rocklin alias or Sacramento office string is confirmed for matching
