OC Tech Happy Hour

2019 is going to be a pivotal year for OC Tech Happy Hour. Each month we will be having a social mixer at an exciting venue in Orange County with the usual OC Tech Happy Hour hospitality you've come to expect. Each event will feature 2 startups! Every quarter, we will be having speaking events and interviews in larger gatherings with the spirit and energy that gives Silicon Valley a run for its money! We've formed a new board of directors and will be filing for Non-Profit status in 2019! For those of you who didn't read last year's end of year address, please take a moment to read below. See you at the event! A humble thank you, That first event -- I wasn't sure if anyone was going to show up. We were at the Fashion Island Hotel in Newport Beach and we'd booked the Aqua Lounge bar area. At first, a few people to started trickling in. I would shake each person's hand and introduce myself and learn more about who they were. That first night, I maxed out my credit card buying people drinks. We continued to host events at the Aqua Lounge, friendships were formed, business deals were made, startups were funded and we were growing rapidly as a movement and group in Orange County. "Orange County tech and startups are on the rise! Let's give Silicon Valley a run for its money, one beer at a time!" We then started doing pitch competitions and brought in founders from billion dollar companies to speak and drop knowledge. We've had Halloween VR experience parties on The Deck in Laguna Beach, launched viral content networks at the WeWork in the Spectrum Tower, enjoyed ocean surf views at Zimzala in Huntington Beach, and found our Lean Startup Hustle at Eureka Building in Irvine. 7,000 Orange County members strong and over 20,000 members in the National Tech Happy Hour network, let's keep this train going with a new commitment for the community by the community to do even more events, drive even more activity and make Orange County the most badass place to start a company in the world! We're passionate founders, marketers, executives, investors and doers and we're here to make a dent in the world. Let's get together and celebrate over 4 years strong, and cheers to another decade! Let's rock this. Let's make this the best event we've ever done.
