FourthWave

FourthWave is an accelerator for women-led technology businesses. Our inaugural Sacramento program launched in 2017, and in 2020 we stepped into a strategic partnership with the esteemed Carlsen Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Sacramento State. We know that investing in women is one of the most effective ways to reduce inequality and increase economic growth. This is a paradigm that has proven to be true internationally, in economies of every scale. Yet, while women dominate the national start-up scene, launching companies at three times the rate of men, we only attract about 4% of venture capital investments.
