OUR IMPACT
Nicolas Pinkowski,
CEO of Nitricity Inc.
"Nitricity is focused on and will continue to work diligently on its mission to de-carbonize nitrogen fertilizer production for a better future. The WET Center is an amazing resource for startup companies in the Valley and provided Nitricity a speed boost!"
Glady's Martinez,
Creator of Nelia's La Authentica Birria Sauce
"Being a food entrepreneur has been challenging in particular when handling food and properly storing it. In process manufacturing it is crucial to understand what a HACCP plan is. After participating in the Culinary Catalyst Program, I was able to obtain a certification in HACCP Training and build a network with other aspiring food entrepreneurs. I am very grateful to have been a part of the very first culinary Catalyst cohort."
Waldo Moraga,
CEO of ECO2MIX
"The WET Center opened the door for us to the Central Valley farming community, and being a part of Valley Ventures was a great experience. A wonderful network of experts that helped ECO2MIX in landing here in California."
