A Boomerang Back to Sacramento

Cameron Law’s path through the entrepreneurial ecosystem mirrors that of a boomerang.

Born and raised in Sacramento, Cameron was determined to see more of the world after graduating UC Davis with his undergraduate degree in Managerial Economics. He set his sights down under with an MBA program at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Although at first Cameron didn’t plan to come back to Sacramento “until he was 40-50”, his time in Brisbane expedited that timeline.

Brisbane’s startup community was booming, and the Australian state capital served as a constant reminder of the potential of the Capital Region back home.

After graduating, Cameron swung back to Sacramento with a mission to help catalyze that potential. And he got to work growing his network and capacity.

And according to Cameron, there is so much to say.

He is proudest of the quantity and quality of initiatives being propped up in Sacramento – especially as it relates to inclusivity in entrepreneurship.

Examples of that include the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce making $50,000 grants available to support Latino small business in Sacramento County, the SBDC’s Inclusivity Project to support Black and African-American entrepreneurs with capital and mentorship, and FourthWave which is an accelerator for women-led technology businesses.

Each of these resources has the potential to be a game-changer for the entrepreneurs who have the ability to take advantage of them.

The trick is knowing that they exist in the first place.
