Office Hours meets Happy Hour
A key component of success for many startup founders is having access and the ability to connect with mentors who have been there and done it, – to ask their questions and get feedback from experienced startup veterans. Helping to fill that need is the goal of Startup Happy Hour, a monthly ‘Ask Me Anything’ Q&A event for Sacramento startup founders, entrepreneurs and innovators. Startup Happy Hour is organized by StartupSac in partnership with the Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State.

What is Startup Happy Hour?
The Concept
A monthly informal meetup of entrepreneurs at a local bar, restaurant, or brewery where a startup veteran answers questions from other entrepreneurs. Less of a networking event and more of an informal learning event.
The Goal
Provide an opportunity for early-stage entrepreneurs to learn from and gain insight & feedback from more experienced entrepreneurs, as well as to provide a supportive forum of encouragement and collaboration in the Sacramento startup community.
The Structure
We gather at a local spot for 2/3 socializing and 1/3 Ask Me Anything with an accomplished founder. All are welcome!
Startup Happy Hour Podcasts and Summaries
Pre-Covid we recorded the audio of many Startup Happy Hour events. During Covid, we moved Startup Happy Hour to Zoom, and recorded video of the sessions and uploaded the video YouTube. Check out the audio or video recordings of these past Startup Happy Hour events.
