Beyond Networking: Small Business Mixer
Join us for a Small Business Mixer at Carnegie Mellon University's Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship!
More then just traditional networking, this event brings together local business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals for interactive small-group discussions to share real-world experiences, exchange practical insights, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and business growth.
💡Here are some of the topics we'll explore together in our small-group discussions:
1. Lessons Learned: What Would You Do Differently?
Share challenges, mistakes, and valuable lessons from your business journey. What do you wish you had known earlier?
2. Tools That Actually Work: What's in Your Business Toolkit?
Share your favorite tools, apps, and resources that make daily operations easier, boost productivity, and help your business grow.
3. Let's Solve It Together: Challenges, Ideas & Fresh Perspectives
What's one challenge you're currently facing in your business? Bring it to the table, exchange ideas, and gain fresh perspectives from fellow business owners.
