Startup of the Month: Requested

Pay-what-you-want app a win-win for restaurants and customers

Startup of the Month: NannyMe

Young entrepreneurs create mobile app for on-call babysitters

NannyMe is a business and mobile application created by a few Sacramento high schoolers. Similar to the rideshare app Uber, NannyMe receives babysitting requests, then pings nannies (local high school students), who can accept or decline the job. Since NannyMe launched in December, about 75 families have signed up with the service.

Startup of the Month: California Safe Soil

West Sac agtech company turns organic trash into fertile treasure

Daniel Morash doesn’t like to see spoiled food go to waste. In 2012, Morash and his brother, Dave, spent millions to launch California Safe Soil with one goal in mind: convert leftover organic material from supermarkets into a nutrient-rich soil amendment farmers could use to grow crops.

Startup of the Month: Pondera Solutions

Local entrepreneur uses Google Analytics to help state agencies detect fraud

In 2011, Jon Coss was on the hunt for funding. He had an idea for a system that could leverage Google Analytics to detect and prevent fraud and abuse in government programs. But this infrastructure-as-a-service model was new back then, untested and hard to explain to venture capitalists.
