This week there are so many great events to choose from! And for those of you who live in Davis, it looks like summer vacation is over and the startup-focused events are back! Check out events being hosted by Davis Roots and UCD Venture Catalyst.
This week’s Best Bets happen to coincide with my own personal calendar :) .
1 Million Cups is launching in Sacramento on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. at Velocity’s downtown campus. You gotta check out this new program for startup founders! Every Wednesday, two founder will present and then get feedback from the audience. This process is so valuable to creating great startups! RSVP on Facebook to let us know you’re coming.
The Civic & Gov Tech Showcase on Thursday at the Crest is an opportunity to connect civic minded entrepreneurs, potential investors, and government leaders to showcase innovation. This free event encourages collaboration and the support of new technologies to improve government and public participation. And if you arrive at 9 a.m., Greater Sacramento is making an announcement about a startup that is moving from Silicon Valley to Sacramento.
Freebie of the Week
InnoGrove is offering a free workshop Tuesday evening about non-equity funding. The Small Business Administration will be presenting information about SBA loans and we’ll also discuss lines of credit and bootstrapping.
Plan Ahead
Ready to test drive entrepreneurship? Startup Weekend is back November 11-13 in downtown Sacramento. This is a “classic” edition — i.e. no special theme–any idea goes! Startup Weekend is for anyone interested in learning more about what it’s like to launch a startup company. You don’t need to have a startup idea to participate — we’ll help you find a team with an idea you like. Save 35% off admission with code “digest” — you’ll save even more if you get your ticket now while early bird prices are available.
