IDEA Cafes are one-time startup workshops. If we are successful you'll be too busy to come back the next week! But join us any time you need a boost as you start in a new direction.

Since 1994, we help people who are starting down a new path with a new project or campaign, a new career or new business. We are now part of the new, free Small Business Chamber of Commerce. For more, see our Facebook Page  http://Facebook.com/Small.Business.Chamber or our website at http://www.SmallBizChamber.org

Our Denver IDEA Cafe meets each Friday. Each week we invite people to share their career, business, and political startup experience and we brainstorm. We've heard from people such as: Dan Brogan, 5280 Magazine; Jared Polis, entrepreneur and U.S. Representative; Kenton Kuhn, Black-tie; Paul Lewan, Lewan & Associates; John Youngquist, Principal of East High School; John Brackney and Joe Blake from the South Metro and Denver Chambers of Commerce; and hundreds of others.

All IDEA Cafes are free and open to all, we just ask that you bring your brain for the brainstorming. At our Denver IDEA Cafe we ask for your help through a written questionnaire at the end of each meeting. Each First Friday the Denver IDEA Cafe holds a Reunion Meeting, all are invited to attend.

Our mission is to strengthen the grassroots in business and politics. How? We help you increase your ROI (Return on Inspiration)! Some of the best networking in Denver almost always takes place right after the meeting. But please, join us to learn, never come just to network.

Join us any Friday you need a boost as you get started in a new direction with a new career, new project or campaign, or a new business!

The IDEA Cafe is now part of your Small Business Chamber of Commerce, which is cooperating with local chambers to help start new IDEA Cafe startup workshops across Colorado and beyond. For more about the SBCC, see our Facebook page , we'll schedule our first "Big Event" as soon as we get 1000 members (we have nearly 900 now), free to those who attend and free to exhibitors who have joined the SBCC Meetup, http://Facebook.com/Small.Business.Chamber
