Our Response Measures
Steps We’re Taking
We are monitoring information from the Centers for Disease Control and will be examining events on a case-by-case basis. Many of our overseas plans, including trips to Thailand and Japan, have been placed on hold until further notice.
For the domestic events we have decided to move forward with, we will be adopting the following precautionary measures to keep our attendees and employees safe. We will be taking participants temperatures and providing alcohol spray on-site. Attendees will be required to wear masks throughout the event, and will also need to sign a certification form declaring that you are not sick or display any symptoms of sickness.
Steps You Can Take
We know it’s not easy to operate a business during times like this. Help us help you.
Share your services. We’ve been hearing about some ways that startup members are reinventing their services at this time or providing special offers to deal with the coronavirus. If you have a solution to offer, please let us know so that we may disseminate not only to this wonderful community, but also to our media partners and other relevant local communities. Let’s show the power and innovation of our startups.
Take advantage of TSS. It could be time to revisit our services and perks, as we could all use a little help and savings. For example, reviewing your press kit, pitch deck, or website, and even organizing online mentoring sessions for you, especially with our overseas mentors. Treat us as part of your team! Talk to us on Slack and let us know what you need help with.
Thank you and let's be stronger together.
