Got a startup idea? Come pitch it at the weekly “1 Million Cups” program at the Cove @ UCI. Each Wednesday, two startups give short presentations, followed by discussion with investors, entrepreneurs, students and community members. Begun in 2012, 1 Million Cups is based on the idea that entrepreneurs meet and find solutions over a million cups of coffee. It’s now active in 160 communities.

The free program is one of 700 public events that UCI Applied Innovation hosts at the Cove each year.

To present, sign up at www.1millioncups.com/irvine. To network and get inspired, stop by any Wednesday — the coffee and parking are free.
