1 Million Cups (1 MC) Sacramento Weekly Event for Entrepreneurs

A weekly, coffee-fueled event

Every Wednesday morning, 2 founders present their startups to their peers for advice and feedback.

It's not a sales pitch, and it's not an investor pitch. The goal is to have people understand what you do and some of the challenges you have had in building your business.

You'll be assigned a coach for your presentation. So why not get out of your comfort zone? Share your business idea and connect to an engaged community of fellow entrepreneurs and ecosystem-builders that support your startup journey.

  • Refine your presentation and elevator pitch

  • Continue to present your business -- in another city or after you have made significant changes
  • Receive feedback from a diverse audience
  • Potentially gain exposure to new markets and people
