8 Weeks. 10 Modules. Reflections from SEA entrepreneurs
2020 has been a wild ride. The past two months have been no exception. For some SEA alumni, this new normal is an opportunity to advanced their ventures, through the Cowo Campus Accelerator, in partnership with SBDC NorCal Financial Center. Read more of their startup journeys.

Why the Cowo Accelerator?
Beside the fact that I am participating in all the accelerators I can find, I chose Cowo because I have a long and valuable relationship with them starting with workshops at their former location on 21st Street, 1 Million Cups and Side Hustle Wednesdays that have been held in their new location. I am impressed with the work they do and the service they provide to the community.

How did SEA prepare you for your entrepreneurial pursuits?
Without the Sacramento Entrepreneurship Academy (SEA), I would have never met and started working with Tony. Beyond being the vehicle to work on Tony and I’s project, SEA connected me to a network of mentors and entrepreneurial peers. The SEA community has been by my side throughout my entrepreneurial journey, from Day 1 of class to today, almost 2 years later.

Where do you see PairAnything a year from now?
A year ago, PairAnything was a figment of my entrepreneurial imagination. Today, PairAnything is deployed in three wine regions. I went from being a solopreneur to now leading the most amazing team of 10 like-minded innovators. A year from now, I envision PairAnything empowering independent wineries with digital commerce and offering curated wine subscriptions to delight today’s consumers.
