1 Million Cups Sacramento with One Stop Tree Shop and Soteria Labs
·OnlineOnlineYou’re invited to 1 Million Cups Sacramento! Every Wednesday morning, one or two entrepreneurs present their early-stage businesses in 6 minute presentations that are followed by questions, feedback and advice from an audience of their peers. Join us on Zoom every Wednesday. Doors open at 8:45 a.m. and the program starts promptly at 9 a.m.
PRESENTERS
One Stop Tree Shop (OSTS) is a tree-industry-only platform built to fix the biggest daily bottlenecks: unreliable hiring, scattered equipment listings, and zero centralized coordination when storms hit. Instead of juggling Facebook groups, texts, and random marketplaces, crews, companies, and vendors can find each other in one place; faster hires, faster deals, faster response. It’s modern infrastructure for a dangerous, time-sensitive industry that’s been operating on outdated systems for too long.
Soteria is the Greek goddess of recovery and rescue. Our mission is to help retail Decentralized Finance (DeFi) investors transform losing investments into dividend-generating assets, thereby erasing all or most of any loss over time.
AGENDA:
- 8:45-9:00: Networking (optional)
- 9:00-10:00: Startup Presentations with Audience Feedback -- we start on time!
- 10:00-10:15 Stick around after the program ends for some free-form networking! (optional)
This is a virtual meeting, and we will be live streaming via Zoom.
Once you RSVP, the Zoom link will be visible on the event page on the right side just below the date and time.
