Wow, a lot going on!
Hoping everyone is safe and sound from the fires. If anyone needs anything, from sharing resources to getting word out to a large group, we’re here to support and help.
With this past month being Women-Owned Small Business Month, we’ve been proud to support outstanding entrepreneurs and today you can tune in with the Orange County Business Journal for their Women In Business Awards. Entrepreneurship is actually on the rise during Covid-19 as the uncertainty has led some to take the leap. Very proud to see this and see so many small businesses rise from the ashes of this year.
In other news, OC4 Venture Studio has rebranded to Operate Studios leaning into their superpower of bringing in expert help for early stage startups. Carey and crew are not just helping a few startups but helping build the connective tissue of the startup community in Orange County. Listen in to this week’s AccelerateOC podcast with The Startup Community Way co-author Ian Hathaway.
With this being our last newsletter before the election, I ask you to vote. As readers interested in building the community around us, engaging in the process is a necessary step. Get out and vote so we can shape our community we are so passionate about.
Cheers,
Neal
