  Out & About: LGBTQ+ BIPOC Entrepreneur Networking
  

  Join us for an empowering evening of connection and collaboration at our monthly in-person networking event, exclusively designed for LGBTQ+ BIPOC entrepreneurs in the Twin Cities. This gathering is a unique opportunity to build a supportive community, share experiences, and foster meaningful business relationships.

  Why This Space Matters:

  Creating a space specifically for Queer BIPOC small business owners is crucial for several reasons:

  1.     Representation and Visibility: It's essential to see and connect with others who share similar identities and experiences. This space ensures that LGBTQ+ BIPOC entrepreneurs are seen, heard, and celebrated.

  2.     Shared Experiences: The intersection of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identities presents unique challenges and opportunities in the business world. This event allows for the exchange of stories, strategies, and support tailored to these specific experiences.

  3.     Inclusive Networking: Traditional networking events can often feel exclusive or unwelcoming. By creating a dedicated space, we ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, fostering genuine connections and collaborations.

  4.     Community Empowerment: This event is more than just networking; it's about building a community that uplifts and empowers each other. Together, we can create a stronger, more resilient network of Queer BIPOC entrepreneurs.

  To maintain the integrity and purpose of this space, please note that this event is exclusively for LGBTQ+ BIPOC small business owners. We appreciate allies and their support; however, this particular event is reserved for those who directly identify as part of these communities.

  Join us for an evening of inspiration, support, and growth. Let’s build a vibrant and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Twin Cities, where every Queer BIPOC business owner can thrive.

  Promote your business and get quality networking time in before the workday even begins.

  These breakfasts focus on roundtable networking and give attendees the chance to exchange business information, develop new prospects, and share a 60-second commercial. This networking event allows earlier risers to make the most of their busy morning and grow business through new connections and relationships. We also feature quick networking breakout sessions to share information about your business or organization, and get those referrals!

  Our (timed) 60-second pitches are very fun and yes it's okay to prep.  Don't forget that it’s great for other attendees to hear what you are looking to buy and who you want to meet, as well as what you are selling.

  Join Our Meeting! (This does require a free Zoom account to participate.)

  Out & About: LGBTQ+ BIPOC Entrepreneur Networking
  

  Join us for an empowering evening of connection and collaboration at our monthly in-person networking event, exclusively designed for LGBTQ+ BIPOC entrepreneurs in the Twin Cities. This gathering is a unique opportunity to build a supportive community, share experiences, and foster meaningful business relationships.

  Why This Space Matters:

  Creating a space specifically for Queer BIPOC small business owners is crucial for several reasons:

  1.     Representation and Visibility: It's essential to see and connect with others who share similar identities and experiences. This space ensures that LGBTQ+ BIPOC entrepreneurs are seen, heard, and celebrated.

  2.     Shared Experiences: The intersection of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identities presents unique challenges and opportunities in the business world. This event allows for the exchange of stories, strategies, and support tailored to these specific experiences.

  3.     Inclusive Networking: Traditional networking events can often feel exclusive or unwelcoming. By creating a dedicated space, we ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, fostering genuine connections and collaborations.

  4.     Community Empowerment: This event is more than just networking; it's about building a community that uplifts and empowers each other. Together, we can create a stronger, more resilient network of Queer BIPOC entrepreneurs.

  To maintain the integrity and purpose of this space, please note that this event is exclusively for LGBTQ+ BIPOC small business owners. We appreciate allies and their support; however, this particular event is reserved for those who directly identify as part of these communities.

  Join us for an evening of inspiration, support, and growth. Let’s build a vibrant and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Twin Cities, where every Queer BIPOC business owner can thrive.
