Castro Valley Business Alliance

Connecting Castro Valley's Business Community

Quarterly Networking & Collaboration for Local Business Owners

Connect. Collaborate. Grow.

The Castro Valley Business Alliance is a quarterly networking group that brings together local business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and professionals who are passionate about supporting the Castro Valley community.

Led by Monica Gioukaris, Bay Area Realtor® with Compass and Chamber Board Member, and Sandy Martinez, Founder of Emerald Gate Studios and Media Marketing Director for the Castro Valley/Eden Area Chamber of Commerce, each meeting is designed to help local businesses build meaningful relationships, exchange referrals, and discover new opportunities for growth.

Every attendee has the opportunity to introduce themselves, share their business, and connect with other professionals in a welcoming, collaborative environment.

Support Local While You Network

Our meetings are held at local restaurants and gathering places throughout the community. Each attendee purchases their own lunch or refreshments, giving us the opportunity to support local businesses while networking and building stronger community connections.

Learn Something New Every Meeting

Each meeting concludes with a practical Social Media Marketing Tip that attendees can immediately put into action to help market and grow their businesses.

Topics may include:

Whether you're launching a new business, growing an established company, or looking to expand your network, the San Lorenzo Business Alliance is a welcoming place to connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow local business owners.
