- Startmada Governmental Network -

A Region Wide Coalition of Your Peers

Who we are

Governmental officials and agency leaders representing every level of government and level of experience from across Southern California.

Together we serve as a peer support network to help make sense of our day to day challenges and address the larger existential threats we all face.

Why we exist

The Startmada Governmental Network is an initiative organized by 805 Startups. 

It is the result hundreds of interviews with founders, investors, and community leaders highlighting how fragmented our regional community is.

What the Community is Saying

Let your success become the next story we share

Monthly Virtual Meeting

Every month we organize a virtual meeting for our members.

We start off with quick introductions to cover three key things:

  • What are you working on
  • What you could use support with
  • How you can support others

Then, we propose three key topics affecting us all and spend a few minutes discussing them together.

We conclude the meeting by sharing upcoming events and opportunities to the group.

Semi-Monthly Newsletter

Twice a month we send out an exclusive newsletter to our members.

This newsletter includes:

  • Announcements from our members
  • Announcements from government officials
  • Announcements from community leaders

Each newsletter includes a link to a form for you to submit an announcement to run in the next newsletter.
