AI Startup Office Hours | Rancho Cordova

​Building something with AI? Bring your questions and get direct, practical feedback on whatever you're working on.

​Every third Thursday, Cameron Law, Executive Director of the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State, sets up shop at HMCI in Rancho Cordova for two hours of open office hours. No agenda, no slides, no pitch required. Pull up a chair and talk through what you're building.

​COMMON CONVERSATIONS

• ​Figuring out if anyone wants what you're building before you build more of it

• ​Finding and talking to your first customers

• ​Turning an AI side project into a real business

• ​What investors expect and how to get ready for those conversations

• ​Plugging into the region's startup resources and programs

​WHO SHOULD COME

• ​Founders building AI or scalable tech startups

• ​Professionals exploring an AI idea on the side

• ​Students and researchers thinking about turning their work into a company

• ​Anyone in the Rancho Cordova AI & Robotics Ecosystem who wants a sounding board

​HOW IT WORKS Drop in anytime between 11 AM and 1 PM. Stay for ten minutes or the full two hours. Registering helps us plan and keeps you in the loop, but walk-ins are always welcome. It's lunchtime, so feel free to bring yours.
