TeamCalifornia

What TeamCalifornia does

TeamCalifornia is a private, non-profit membership-based corporation founded in 1995 and headquartered in Corona, California. It operates as a statewide economic development marketing organization that connects businesses and site selectors with cities, counties, and economic development agencies across California. The organization represents more than 90 member organizations spanning 500+ communities and serves as a single front door for corporate decision-makers evaluating California for business location, expansion, or relocation.

The organization's core product surface centers on a redesigned website platform (teamca.org, launched November 2025 in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency), a member directory, a regional data and key industries hub, and a direct membership inquiry system. These are complemented by an annual flagship event — the Meet the Consultants Forum — and a multimedia channel via the Capital Rivers Connect: California Edition podcast. Integrations with third-party tools including Resimplifi (property listings), ZoomProspector (virtual community tours), and Eventbrite (event ticketing) extend the platform's functionality without bespoke development.

Revenue mechanics are membership-driven: cities, counties, economic development corporations, and partner organizations pay recurring annual membership dues whose specific tiers and pricing are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is hybrid — event-driven (annual forum, trade shows, business missions) and sales-led (direct outreach to corporate executives and site selectors), supported by content marketing, organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, X), email newsletters, and earned media. The organization's CEO, Robin Reimold, leads a lean team of 1-10 employees. No venture funding, equity investors, or institutional capital is associated with the organization; it operates as a self-sustaining non-profit.
