Networking Circles
Networking Circles are small, relaxed meetups for founders working in similar industries. Each session brings together people from one or two sectors, so the conversations stay relevant and useful.
The sessions are friendly and informal. There is no pressure to pitch or perform. Many people come away with new contacts they actually want to stay in touch with, whether that is collaborators, referral partners, suppliers, or just other founders who get it.
Who are Networking Circles for?
Founders and business owners who want meaningful connections with people who understand their industry, customers, and day-to-day reality.
Instead of general networking, you are talking to people who understand your work, your customers, and the day-to-day reality of your industry. That makes it easier to share honestly, ask questions, and learn from each other.
