1 Million Cups Sacramento is where local entrepreneurs meet to share their ideas and make new friends. Every week, two entrepreneurs present their early stage businesses to our community and learn how our community can help support their success. 

A program of the Kauffman Foundation, the format for 1 Million Cups is the same nationwide -- every Wednesday morning, two entrepreneurs present their early-stage businesses to a diverse audience of their peers. Each founder presents for six minutes, followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer and feedback session with the audience . The entire program is free to both the presenting entrepreneurs and the audience.
