Sacramento governs California and feeds America. Build technology platforms for the institutions that manage the most consequential state government and the world's most productive agricultural region.
The Sacramento Technology Challenge
California's state government technology challenges are substantial: dozens of agencies with legacy systems dating to the 1970s, California IT project failure history that has made the Legislature skeptical of large technology initiatives, and a CPRA privacy law that imposes significant data governance requirements on any system handling California resident data. The Central Valley's agricultural technology challenges are equally significant: water scarcity under SGMA, labor availability pressure, and climate variability that requires precision data to maintain productivity.
GovTech and AgTech Platform Solutions
California State Government
Modernize state services:
- Citizen portals: California-compliant service portals with CalLogin identity, accessible design, and multilingual support for California's diverse population

- Farm management: Field-level record keeping with crop input tracking and yield data for Central Valley operations
- Market connectivity: Grower-packer-shipper coordination tools with USDA AMS market data integration
Water Management
Navigate California's water crisis:
- SGMA compliance: Groundwater monitoring dashboard with extraction tracking and GSP reporting automation
- Water accounting: Water right holder tracking and accounting for Sacramento River and Delta water deliveries
- Irrigation efficiency: Drip and micro-irrigation management with water use efficiency analytics
- Drought response: Water curtailment management and allocation tools for irrigation districts during shortage years
Agricultural Supply Chain
Connect farm to market:
- Cold chain tracking: Post-harvest temperature monitoring and food safety compliance for Central Valley produce
- Packing house management: Grading, packing, and inventory management for Central Valley cooling facilities
- Traceability: FSMA Produce Safety Rule traceability with farm-level data capture and recall readiness
- Export compliance: USDA inspection documentation and phytosanitary certificate management for California exports
Sacramento's Dual Economy
The state capital's technology market benefits from a stable government employment base that creates consistent demand for civic technology, while the Central Valley's agricultural economy — the most productive in the world per acre — drives investment in precision agriculture tools. Both markets reward reliable, compliant, and purpose-built technology over generic solutions, creating a market where specialized expertise commands premium positioning.
