San Mateo

A tech company in San Mateo is making a focused effort to help the downtown area it calls home with a unique perk that gives both businesses and employees a boost.

When 3 p.m. rolls around and Verkada employees are looking for an afternoon pick me up, that means it's time for '3-3-3' for Aditya Anguria and his co-workers Melissa and Alice.'You get to go out with people. It allows us to connect with people you work with every day,' Anguria said.'3-3-3' means if three Verkada employees or more go grab a bite or drink together after 3 p.m., the company will cover the cost, up to $30 per person.

It's quite helpful,' Van Arkel said.Verkada's CFO Kameron Rezai came up with the idea. The main purpose is to foster connections among co-workers, but it has had a two-fold impact.'So really, it's been an opportunity for us to invest in our people and invest in the community,' Rezai said.How much has the company spent at local businesses since the start of the '3-3-3' program?'At least half a million dollars across the San Mateo area,' Rezai said.
