It started out as a way to help people get plugged into the Sacramento’s startup ecosystem. We would meet at lunchtime for lunch or coffee and welcome anybody who wanted to show up to come out and meet us and learn about the Sacramento startup community. But then COVID happened.
In March of 2020 with social distancing and shelter in place mandates we pivoted Office Hours to be a virtual event. We also changed up the format in an effort to provide more value to entrepreneurs and small business owners. The new format includes a presentation from an expert on a topic relevant to entrepreneurs and small businesses.
