Jack Crawford has spent nearly two decades building Sacramento's venture ecosystem, launching Velocity Venture Capital in 2005 (which became Impact Venture Capital) with the specific goal of making the region a destination for startups rather than losing them to the Bay Area. He hosts the ImpacTV series where he interviews corporate venture leaders and founders, and has designed Impact's Corporate Network model to connect large enterprises with early-stage companies.
