Present at a Santa Cruz Works Event!

Founded in 2007, Santa Cruz Works now has a community of over 11,000 members who share interests in startups, technology, innovation, and collaboration.

Would you like to present at one of our events? Great! Please read the criteria below, and complete this form to apply. If your application is accepted, we will contact you within 48 hours. Presenting companies will be selected and notified at least 2 weeks before each event.

We have several types of events but these are the ones we are always looking to collaborate on:

  • New Tech: held on the first Wednesday of every month typically at 6pm PT. We spotlight 6 companies who highlight their innovative solutions. Average attendance: 200-300
  • Clinics: A presentation-style online event typically held on Thursdays at 11:30am or noon PT. The goal is to help the community develop new skills. Attendance numbers can vary.
  • CEO Works Luncheon: Invitation-only meet-up group for CEOs to discuss challenges and learn from one another. Average of 15-30 attendees. Typically held on the last Wednesday of the month.
  • Company Breakfast: We bring all the food and drinks. All we need from you is a space for networking and for you or someone from your team to talk for 5-10 mins about what you do and any exciting updates. 20-45 attendees.
  • Company Showcase aka Flash Tour: This event is a tour of a company. We try to keep this event to 20-25 minutes. Audience Q&A at the end. Average attendance: 75


Regarding presentations at the New Tech event: Each startup will have 5 minutes to demo and showcase its solution. Please, no sales pitches. This is reserved for tech companies. Help us understand how your solution can solve business problems in our current companies, and/or give us an edge in our careers. There will be ~10 minutes of Q&A at the end of the event. We also allow 1-minute community announcements if they are relevant to the interests of our tech community. See an example of a presentation here.
