Like most counties in CA the Sonoma County website www.sonoma-county.org is packed with valuable information about starting and doing business in this county. The Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce www.srchamber.org in Sonoma County also has a “Business Start up Kit” to assist you.
I am a member of the the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce involved with assisting companies to start and relocate in our area. I am specifically a member of the Economic Vitality Committee. Recently on October 18th we sponsored the 2nd Annual Venture Capital conference. Six companies had a chance to pitch their companies to angel investors and early state venture capital companies. We had over 150 participants. This program event is included in the Venture Cities program and it has received several state-wide awards. It is mentored by the GoldenCapitalNetwork www.goldencapital.net using a format that provides direct input from investor panelists to assist companies with their presentation and funding. We will plan on the 3rd conference next October so stay tuned for more information.
