Startups & Solopreneurs

Are you launching or operating a business without a physical space (meaning other than your home office)?

Have you decided to run your business entirely online?

Are your employees "virtual"?

Building and running a business in these environments present interesting challenges -- not the least of which is the lack of spontaneous social & professional interaction. Sure, our traditional overhead is lower (yay!), but we have other issues and expenses.

Our goal is to bring together like-minded entrepreneurs to discuss best practices, create opportunities to collaborate, and generally help each other build successful businesses along the way!
