FourthWave

FourthWave, Inc. is a leading accelerator for female tech entrepreneurs. We are committed to changing the narrative around gender equity, and a core part of that story is seen through an economic lens. Investing in women is one of the most effective ways to reduce inequality and increase economic growth. FourthWave creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to chart a new course in business culture with an innovative curriculum designed to facilitate our entrepreneurs’ growth as impactful, conscious leaders. Our program addresses the primary impediments to female business owners’ success—a lack of mentorship, startup fundamentals and access to capital. FourthWave was born in 2016 to alleviate those impediments and to give women the foundation and support they deserve for success. 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 University.
