What we’re about
1 Million Cups is a simple, free, and open program which helps entrepreneurs in communities throughout the United States connect and support each other.
Each week, the 1MC program offers two local entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their startups to a diverse audience of mentors, advisors, and entrepreneurs.
Presenters prepare a 6 minute educational presentation and engage in 20 minutes of feedback and questioning after they present. Entrepreneurs gain insight into possible ways they can improve their businesses, gather realtime feedback, connect with a community that truly cares about their progress, and walk away feeling like they have advanced their business.
The audience also learns a great deal from the presentations. Whether this is through passively listening or deeply engaging with the entrepreneurs, there is much to learn every week from these dynamic and diverse communities.
Ours is a vibrant meetup group that brings together entrepreneurs, startup enthusiasts, and professionals from various industries. Our mission is to foster a community where members can share their experiences, gain valuable insights, and build meaningful connections.
- Interactive Discussions: Participate in lively debates and Q&A sessions to enhance your knowledge.
- Supportive Community: Join a group of like-minded individuals who are passionate about innovation and growth.
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers and industry leaders in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Join Us: 1 Million Cups is the perfect place to meet new people, learn from others, and take your business to the next level.
