This past week, small businesses throughout the Bay Area united in the city for the 11th Annual San Francisco Small Business Week extravaganza. While mingling with fellow entrepreneurs and business owners is fun in and of itself, many attended this event for two main reasons – to get new ideas for business growth and discover tools to help them along the way.
This year, the event kicked off with Flavors of SF, an evening of networking between over 1,200 small businesses and 70 companies with relevant resources and tools – including Endicia, of course! The evening also included tastings of foods, wines and beers from local businesses such as Belinda Chocolates, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly and Super Duper Burgers.
