What to expect from StartupCircle.

At StartupCircle, We're a community, and as such, we count on our community to help bring value and relevance to our mission.

Meetings

We hold meetings at least once a month. These are rarely the types of networking events you might come to have expect from other groups. Ours are social in nature and value driven. Our mission as founders and Entrepreneurs is to ensure that every member in attendence walks away inspired, educated and connected. How do we do this?
Monthly meetings are structured and focused. We rely on our members to give us feedback about topics they're most interested in. Monthly meetings involve:

1) The 30 second pitch - If you attend we will ask that you speak briefly about your business and what your immediate next steps or needs are. This helps everyone in the room get an idea of who you are so that networking opportunities are more targeted.

2) A presentation from the "Entrepreneurs of the month" - this is a local Entrepreneur who gives a 20-30 minute presentation about their business and then opens the floor for questions. The Entrepreneur or team can be at any stage in their venture. Our goal is to educate our members about other Entrepreneurs in their community and also connect and assist our Entrepreneur of the month with ideas and resources. We often have more than one venture present.

3) Interaction time - At the end of every meeting, we like to open the floor to additional comments or suggestion and then allow 30-45 minutes for one on one interaction.
