This year, Capitalize: Next Gen has been reimagined to spotlight emerging entrepreneurs and innovators across the Sacramento region. Emerging and early-stage innovators ages 18–30 who are actively developing their ventures through a wide range of learning and growth pathways are invited to apply. These include traditional education, alternative programs, community-based learning, workforce development initiatives, apprenticeships, or self-directed learning. The final four chosen on Pitch Day will create videos about their startup for fan voting starting around March 16. The winner will be announced in-game and will be awarded $10,000 for further development of their business.
