Officially, it’s not yet summer; however it’s not too early to start making summer plans. Be sure to use indelible ink to mark your calendar for the annual Startup Summer Party happening July 17 and brought to you by Startup Grind, StartupSac and The Urban Hive. It’s free to attend and there’s also an opportunity for pre-revenue startups to have an exhibit table for just a $50 fee. Last year over 300 people attended and this year will be even bigger! Come celebrate all things startup with us! RSVP/Buy a Table here.
Parents–kids driving you nuts yet? Here’s some summer fun for the whole family! H@ck the Park Fest will transform North Laguna Park into a tech wonderland for all ages on Saturday, June 23! In partnership with the City of Sacramento, local STEM based non-profit Square Root Academy has curated a STEM-tastic experience for the whole family celebrating culture, innovation, and community! Pssst: You don’t need to have kids to attend! This is a free event. RSVP here.
Buddy can you spare your mind? Early stage dating app startup Bubbl would be SO GRATEFUL if you would volunteer to take their survey. They are getting early user feedback up front because they’re smart! They don’t want to spend money creating an app that may not be what their customers want. Volunteer here.
