Alliance to Preserve California's Technology & Innovation Economy
Bringing together small business owners across California to share practical AI tools, shape the state policies that affect them, and build a statewide community that grows together.
Who We Are
The Alliance to Preserve California's Technology and Innovation Economy is a network of small business organizations that came together to make sure small business owners have a voice in how California shapes technology policy.
Small businesses rely on digital tools and technology, and deserve to have a voice in the policy discussions when new laws and regulations impact their use of these tools.
Since 2018, the Alliance has grown to more than 100 small business organizations, chambers, and industry associations across California. As this next era of digital tools becomes integrated in business, we’re focused on helping small business owners across every industry understand how to navigate the new digital landscape, connect with other small business peers, and ensure policymakers consider the small business impact before advancing tech legislation.
We're growing quickly and welcoming chambers, associations, and individual business owners who want to be part of the conversation.
