Congressional Startup Day with Congresswoman Katie Porter Photos
The OC Startup Council was proud to celebrate Congressional Startup Day with an invitation-only Startup CEO Roundtable featuring local Congresswoman Katie Porter.
Congressional Startup Day is national, bipartisan celebration of entrepreneurship all across the country each August. It's designed to help our elected representatives connect better with the early stage ventures in their home districts.
Here in Irvine, the OCSC welcomed recently elected Representative Porter to meet with a panel of our Member CEOs representing many of the most dynamic technology startups in Orange County.
Wide-ranging discussion topics included the challenges of new business setup and raising capital, housing and health care costs, H1B visas, retraining and workforce development, opportunity zones, employment law, privacy and artificial intelligence oversight, and much more.
The meeting was a valuable first-time opportunity for our technology startup ecosystem leaders to share their views, and gain insights into the legislative and regulatory process.
The OC Startup Council was pleased to be honored with a certificate of recognition for its efforts organizing the OC tech startup ecosystem.
Thanks to Congresswoman Porter and her staff for the friendly dialogue.
We look forward to future events together!
