August Commerce & Cocktails Mixer at Holy Basil Recap

Hosted August 27th, 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at our mixer hosted by Holy Basil Pho and Cocktail Bar!

For those who couldn’t attend, we continued the conversation around MyBiz 510, our AI-powered tool designed to empower Oakland’s small businesses.

MyBiz 510 allows users to ask questions and receive business support in multiple languages, including Vietnamese, Spanish, French, and more. Our goal is to make essential business information more accessible and easier to understand, regardless of language preference. We’re excited about the potential of this tool to remove language barriers and support more business owners in their journey to success.

A big thank you to Dana for partnering with our team on this event. This work is helping to level the playing field for immigrant and minority entrepreneurs. We are currently looking for businesses to test and help improve MyBiz 510. Stay tuned for future updates and improved versions of the technology.
