Friendly FAQs
What if I'm an introvert?+
We love introverts! We'll save you a seat at a friendly table and never put you on the spot.
Do I have to own a business?+
Not at all. Members are entrepreneurs, executives, mid-career professionals, and those rebuilding after a pivot. All welcome.
Can I bring a friend?+
Yes — and we hope you do! Guests attend their first meeting on us.
What's the time commitment?+
One evening a month, plus optional mixers and service projects. Come as much (or as little) as life allows.
