1 Million Cups is a weekly event for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs — built on the belief that conversations over coffee can accelerate innovation.

Here’s how the morning flows:

🕘 **9:00–10:00 AM** — Startup Presentations + Q&A
Two founders pitch their business for 6 minutes each, followed by honest, constructive feedback from fellow entrepreneurs, business professionals, students, and curious minds. No judges. No pressure. Just real community support.

🕙 **10:00–11:00 AM** — **Networking & Startup Workshop**
**Stick around for casual networking and our hands-on Startup Workshop** — a space where early-stage founders can get real-time input from experienced operators, troubleshoot business challenges, and make real progress. Bring your questions, ideas, and roadblocks — we’ll work through them together.
