Free food and drink from some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. All of them Renaissance alumni.
The evening's program includes an intimate conversation with Eventbrite founders Kevin and Julia Hartz, and our Entrepreneurs of the Year, a tribute to board member Sandor Straus, and the Fund-a-Need, plus awards, and more throughout the night!
They built the platform that lets anyone put on an event and sell a ticket for it, then spent the years since backing founders at the stage when a company is still mostly nerve. They join us on stage for the
evening’s fireside chat.
Firedoll has funded the unglamorous work that makes economic mobility real in the East Bay and beyond: education, immigrant services, and small-business support, given quietly and for years.
Get in front of the Bay Area's small business community.
Sponsorship puts your brand in the room with founders, funders, and civic leaders, and your name on an evening that celebrates the people driving local growth.
Packages include VIP seating, program recognition, and prominent logo placement throughout the venue.
Questions about sponsorship? development@rencenter.org
Is there parking
Free parking in the adjacent lot and on nearby streets, with security on-site throughout the evening. Rideshare drop-off is on Henry Adams Street.
What should I wear?
Business casual. Dress it up or keep it comfortable, whatever suits you is perfect.
Is dinner served?
Food comes from the free entrepreneur marketplace, where you can graze from a range of Bay Area vendors, with dessert served during the program. There’s a full bar as well. Vegan and vegetarian options are available throughout. Since the food is marketplace-style rather than a seated dinner, there’s no set menu, so come hungry and explore!
I can't attend. Can I still help??
Yes! You can make a gift, sponsor a table for Renaissance clients, or shop the entrepreneur directory year round. Every purchase puts money directly into a local small business.
