  7. Ancillary Benefits Assessment

  8. Underserved Market Benchmarks • Companies located in areas where access to institutional equity capital is limited: • Companies located outside the top 100 postal codes for receiving venture capital investment. (These top 100 postal codes received 30% of venture capital investment dollars between 2000 and 2005.) • Companies that employ workers who reside in economically disadvantaged areas: • Companies where at least 25% of California employees live in a zip code designated economically disadvantaged. • Companies with female and/or minority management: • Companies where at least one officer (e.g. CEO, COO, CFO, CIO) is female or ethnic/racial minority.

  9. Strong Presence in California • Of 68 companies1: • 48 are headquartered in California • 51 employ a significant proportion of their workforce in California • 37 have been in the portfolio for one year or more • Since investment, these companies have created nearly 2,500 jobs, including nearly 600 in California • CA Initiative companies employ over 5,000 Californians, including approximately 2,000 who live in economically disadvantaged areas of the state • Over 170 distribution, retail and other facilities located across California 1 Active California Initiative companies (as reported in the Initial Assessment Report)
