SACRAMENTO — The former CEO of a San Francisco startup pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to luring investors with false promises that Cisco Inc. was about to purchase his company for hundreds of millions.

Jonathan Mills, 30, faces up to 30 months in prison and a $6,000 fine under terms of an agreement with federal prosecutors that required him to plead guilty to two counts of wire fraud, according to Mills’ lawyer, Harris Taback. Mills will also pay restitution of up to $590,000 to his victims, Taback said.
