There is still time to make new connections before the year ends! Startup-Tech Connect is hosting its final event of 2026 on Monday, November 9, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Hop Gardens in Sacramento. If you have been looking for an opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs, startup founders, and tech professionals, this is your chance to connect with Sacramento’s innovation community before the year wraps up.
Whether you are building a startup, growing a business, working in technology, or simply interested in meeting people who share your passion for innovation, Startup-Tech Connect brings together individuals from across Sacramento’s business and technology communities for an evening of conversation, collaboration, and networking.
Where Business and Technology Connect
Startup-Tech Connect is built around a simple idea: some of the most valuable connections happen through genuine conversations. Instead of a formal panel, presentation, or pitch competition, the evening gives attendees space to meet each other, exchange ideas, and learn what others are working on.
You might meet someone who can help solve a challenge you have been facing, find a potential collaborator, connect with another founder, or simply gain a better understanding of Sacramento’s startup and tech community.
The goal is not to walk away with a stack of business cards. It is to start conversations and build relationships that matter.
What You Can Expect
Startup-Tech Connect is all about genuine conversations, meaningful networking, and shared enthusiasm for building and creating. The evening offers a relaxed environment where attendees can connect without the pressure of a formal networking event.
Meet people developing businesses, exploring new technologies, and bringing innovative ideas to life. Whether you are looking for a potential co-founder, seeking new perspectives on a business challenge, or hoping to expand your professional network, there is an opportunity to make valuable connections.
Enjoy pizza while exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and getting to know the people helping shape Sacramento’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Who Should Attend?
Startup-Tech Connect is open to anyone interested in entrepreneurship, startups, technology, or innovation. This includes startup founders, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, small business owners, tech professionals, creatives, and aspiring innovators.
You do not need to have an established startup, work for a technology company, or have a specific business idea to attend. Whether you are an experienced entrepreneur or someone exploring opportunities in Sacramento’s startup community, you are welcome.
For those who work remotely, are building a business independently, or want to become more involved in the local ecosystem, the event provides an opportunity to meet others with similar interests and develop connections beyond your usual professional circles.
