What StartupSB Members Are Saying!
Our members get access to all of our events and more!
Super place to meet innovators, Kyle and his peers are doing a super job connecting central coast folks, very important work!
“Kudos. Great resource for the startup community.”
“One of the most informative and engaging meetings I have attended.”
“Very valuable community of people.”
” Interesting crowd, good mix, cross generation, old friends and new. Well done!”
I always meet really cool and inspiring people. Thanks for a great meetup!
If I am purchasing a membership now, do I get access to events for this calendar year only?
Your membership is good for a year from the time of purchase. If you are registering mid year, don’t be alarmed, you’ll get to attend a year’s worth of events.
What does my membership payment go to?
Money made from event registration and memberships goes towards creating better events, food, drinks, meetup.com fees, logistics, equipment needed for events, and staffing. StartupSB is also hoping to pool future funds to support the efforts of Santa Barbara based startups.
Your events were free. Why is there now a charge for events?
StartupSB started as a casual meetup group. The meetup.com based group is now 1800+ members. As we grow we need to improve membership functionally, communications and our events. This requires staffing and much more time from our team.
We also realize we are creating the most well attended and engaging entrepreneurial events in the Santa Barbara area. As a comparison we are still the most affordable event on the central coast, and provide the most value for Santa Barbara area entrepreneurs.
When will my membership be renewed?
Your membership will be automatically renewed on the anniversary date of the day you purchased it.
