PRESENTERS
Savvy Scratch LLC -- Lottery scratch-off tickets are the most common form of gambling in the United States of America. It's a hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars industry. It's broken into regional lotteries controlled by state governments and none of them provide game data that's accurate and up to date. We fill that gap from the perspective of a pro gambler for over 20 years with lifetime net winnings over $500,000AGENDA:
- 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)

At Sacramento Running Company (SRC), our mission is simple: to serve the needs of Sacramento’s vibrant running and walking community. Founded by longtime runners Meghan and Josh, SRC was born from a desire to create a truly local hub for everyone who moves, whether you're training for your next marathon or enjoying daily walks through the neighborhood.
For years, Meghan and Josh dreamed of opening a space like this, a homegrown store where community, movement, and connection come first. After five years living in Curtis Park and immersing themselves in the local running scene, the timing finally felt right.
Though they may not chase PRs like they used to, Meghan and Josh remain passionate about staying active and building a welcoming space for others to do the same. SRC is more than just a store; it’s a place where runners, walkers, and everyone in between can come together, find great gear, and feel part of something bigger.
We can’t wait to welcome you—with open arms—to your new running home.
