AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The OC Startup Council connects everyone in Orange County’s startup ecosystem. Our community service helps local startup founders, investors, service providers, and community groups find each other and build relationships, partnerships, and deal flow.
If you align with our Mission, please learn about joining us as an Ambassador to help increase OCSC’s membership and accelerate the local startup ecosystem.
What Do OCSC Ambassadors Do?
Our Ambassadors help promote the OCSC and its services to recruit new Members and Sponsors.
The OC Startup Council has been actively supporting everyone in the local innovation ecosystem since 2018. But most of OC is still unaware of the OC Startup Council!
We’d love YOUR help to reach more startup founders, service providers, investors, and community groups so we can help connect them and grow the community.
The OC Startup Council’s publishing, events, services, and community information hub are the lowest cost way for startup companies and local service providers to build their brands in Orange County’s innovation ecosystem.
Your personal network of potential Members and Sponsors can likely benefit from joining the OCSC for cost-effective marketing services that can help grow their businesses.
Your friends and contacts will love to learn about us!
WHO ARE OCSC AMBASSADORS?
The OCSC works with selected local partners to grow our community services.
These selected individuals and groups are active leaders in the Southern California startup ecosystem. They are well-connected and share the OCSC's commitment to supporting local innovation and entrepreneurship.
