I miss you! I miss in-person energy and serendipitous collisions! If you’re missing the startup community too, I recommend joining the 1 Million Cups Sacramento meetup every Wednesday morning from 8:45 to 10:00 on Zoom. Officially, it starts at 9:00 but we do some freestyle networking for 15 minutes before. Stop in and say hello! Go to 1millioncups.com/sacramento, scroll down and click on the Watch the Livestream button at 8:45 a.m. Be sure to turn your video on so we can see you! If you’d like to be one of our future presenters, we’re currently filling spots for May. Presenters give a short, six minute presentation on their startup/business and then we open it up for questions and feedback. Go to the same link as above and click on the Apply to Present button to submit your application. Then I’ll work with you to find a convenient date.
StartupSac Office Hours is this Wednesday at 11 a.m. and will feature Sabya Das, partner at Moneta Ventures. Sabya will discuss how founders can pivot and adjust in a COVID-19 Economy, and discuss how many venture firms and investors are looking at the world right now. Join us for free but register in advance to get the Zoom link! Register

Plan Ahead: Returning after rave reviews for the first round, the Entrepreneurship Toolkit Series, offered by the Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Sac State, starts up again later this month on Wednesday, May 20.

Learn more about each session and register here.
New events for startups pop up every day–sometimes without much lead-time. If you want to make sure you are always in the know, join the StartupSac Community Facebook Group. It’s also a great place to meet other founders. Request to join here.
