Hold on to your seatbelts! You’re in for a wild ride this week! It’s a fantastic opportunity to rub elbows with fellow founders, investors, mentors, and just plain super cool people!
We’re kicking it off with StartupSac Happy Hour on Tuesday at new digs — The Red Rabbit. Come hang starting at 5:30 pm and after some appetizers and drinks, meet Jeremy Perkins, the founder & CEO of one of Sacramento’s fastest growing startups! It’s free to attend but buy your own drink (and maybe buy one for a friend!). If you’re interested in being the appetizer sponsor (~$300) let me know. Jeff and I would be grateful for your support! RSVP
Wednesday is oozing with entrepreneurial goodness! Get an early start (as well as a cup of coffee) at 1 Million Cups at the Metro Chamber in Old Town at 9 am to meet a couple of new startup companies and the head on over to the Golden 1 Center at 11 am for the startup event of the year — the Impact Global Venture Summit! Early bird price of $35 might still be available but jump on it this morning to see. Procrastinators will have to pay $75 to attend (but it’s worth it!). There may still be spots available for Epic Office Hours (apply here) but you’ll need to purchase a ticket to the Summit to participate. Get tickets
Then hold on to your hats! Global Startup Weekend Sustainable Revolution is happening Friday evening – Sunday Evening–54-hours to create a startup! We’ve never had a Startup Weekend quite like this one in our region! ANYONE can contribute to the advancement of an idea that supports global sustainability. It doesn’t have to be a tech idea either. And get this — the organizing team has some super cool swag planned: upcycled commemorative t-shirts and laser-engraved wooden name tags! Tickets are $99 general and $35 student and include 7 delicious meals! Use code “digest” for $25 off the general price. If you can’t commit the entire weekend to saving the world, you can still come to Demo Night on Sunday for just $25. Get Tickets to Either Event
Plan Ahead
Next Thursday evening, 6/27, CleanStart will celebrate the winners of Startup Weekend Sustainable Revolution at their monthly meetup. The top 3 teams will be invited to present. It’s free to attend but please RSVP.
It’s back! The phenomenal Startup Grind Annual Summer Party at The Urban Hive! SAVE THE DATE — July 16. Last year, over 450 people attended and it was such a blast! Pre-revenue startups can purchase display tables for $100 and sponsors can purchase a table + promotion for $250. You gotta make this bash — it’s so much fun! Get Tickets
