SF Beta rocks! But don't just take our word for it...

“As networking events go, SF Beta is fast becoming an institution. In less than a year, it’s turned into a reliable, if predictable, venue for meeting and greeting entrepreneurs.”

"SF Beta has brought together thousands of people from hundreds of startups, creating innumerable connections along the way."

"We used SF Beta, a monthly showcase of tech startups in downtown San Francisco, as our official launch event last night. Over 500 people stopped by throughout the course of the night and the event was a great success."

“SF Beta is a healthy cross between a networking mixer and a night out at a packed bar where everyone knows everyone else (did that sound like the theme song to Cheers for a second?)”

“These events are great opportunities to meet like-minded counterparts, but they’re also great ways to check out your competition, meet collaborators and build up your courage.”
