The Great Start Mentorship Program. A great, free resource for entrepreneurs in Sacramento. If you are starting a company, you would be foolish not to take advantage of this new program from the Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance. From the SARTA website:

GreatStart provides assistance to high tech companies in early stages of development. Clients apply to be accepted into the program and then get to work with mentors and advisors over a time specified by panelists and mentors. Upon completion of this process, the GreatStart client is requested to make a presentation to our panel of experts. Our panels are made up of investors, lawyers, strategists and industry savvy professionals. During and after the panel presentation feedback is provided and then a next meeting occurs with comments, suggestions, contacts and more about the plan and presentation. At that time a mentor is chosen and will work with the team for the months ahead through the process of preparation to go in front of investors. The main goal for clients and mentors is to prepare a business plan and strategy to move forward to get funding.
