CAPITAL

The Sacramento Growth Factory

Providing access to capital, expertise, and a connected community of entrepreneurs, investors, and partners.

100 Backyard Business Partners

Emerging from his personal mission statement -- “With future generations in mind, I will create opportunity for my family, friends and community. As they succeed, I succeed.” Mark Haney’s vision is to support, connect and invest in 100 entrepreneurs that reach $1M+ in revenue by 2029. Mark and the HaneyBiz team call this “group to be” the “Backyard Business Partners” as they plan to celebrate these CEOs with a party in Mark’s backyard.

PORTFOLIO

With an angel investment portfolio of 35+ local companies, including stars like Trifecta Nutrition, Grin and CREtelligent, as well as successful exits like Free Form (acquired by Nikola Motors) and RizKnows, we are well on our way.

Sacramento Growth Factory

To further realize this vision, HaneyBiz has launched the Sacramento Growth Factory (SGF) to take a hands on approach to supporting entrepreneurs from the Greater Sacramento region. SGF helps early stage startups and small businesses to rapidly scale. 

Unlike a rigid and time-consuming Accelerator, SGF customizes each engagement to help founders address gaps and build capacity in areas like customer acquisition, fundraising, marketing, operations and executive support. In addition to the team’s expertise, HaneyBiz activates a curated network of local partners, customers, and investors to support founders in achieving their goals.

Mark is a friend, mentor, and one of the finest individuals that I know. I am thrilled and honored to have him as a partner in my business. While, Mark isn't active in the day-to-day operations of RIZKNOWS, he is our sounding board for new ideas, our advisor during strategy sessions, and our confidant in tough situations. Mark just knows a lot about a lot and has decades of experience running businesses. He is the first person I turn to when I have questions. He also happens to be extremely well connected, which, as I'm sure you can imagine, comes in handy. Let's put it this way, Mark couldn't get rid of me if he tried.

Mark has been a tremendous resource for my company. Not only did I get a cash investment, but I'm now working out of the office space and have my accounting taken care of. This has helped me focus on the growth of TAKS!
