HUSTLE Orange County's Most Action-Oriented Networking for Ambitious Founders & Entrepreneurs

Your next co-founder. Your first investor. Your biggest client.

They could all be at this event.

If you're building a business — or ready to start one — HUSTLE Orange County, California is where high-energy entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and create real opportunities. No fluff. No awkward small talk. Just meaningful connections that move the needle.

Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a side hustle, or raising your first round, this is your chance to meet mentors, investors, future team members, and fellow go-getters who can help you accelerate faster.

Why You Should Come:

• Meet founders, freelancers, and innovators who are doing the work — not just talking about it
• Share ideas, get feedback on your MVP, or find your next business partner
• Discover investor leads, pilot customers, or early adopters for your product
• Walk away with 3–5 valuable new connections (we make sure you actually talk to people)

Perfect For:

Startup founders | Aspiring entrepreneurs | Solopreneurs | Side-hustlers | Freelancers | Investors | Innovators

This is NOT your average "handshake and hope" networking event.

We keep it fast-paced, inclusive, and founder-focused — with structured mingling to help you actually meet the right people.

It's FREE to attend — but space is limited and there is the expectation you buy a full priced drink at the bar.

About the venue: A tavern and American restaurant rated 4.3 from around 870 reviews, mid-priced, open 11am to midnight Monday to Thursday. Reviewers describe a hunting-lodge interior with indoor and outdoor seating, a shuffleboard, and a separate saloon room at the back — the back room is worth asking about for a group. Happy hour starts at 11am and reviewers note plenty of space for larger parties.

Getting there: Note the location: the venue is on East 17th Street in Costa Mesa rather than in a city called Orange County. There is no rail transit serving this stretch — the nearest Metrolink is some distance away — so attendees will drive, which is standard for Orange County. The 17th Street corridor has street parking and small lots, and the venue is a short drive from the 55 and 405 freeways.
