About us
You've handed out enough business cards to wallpaper a conference room.
You've done the mixer. Made the small talk. Answered "so what do you do" until the words stopped meaning anything. You've collected connections that never connected and left rooms that promised community feeling more alone than when you walked in.
And somewhere in the back of your mind you started wondering if this is just what networking is. A necessary evil. A performance you put on and hope something sticks.
It doesn't have to feel like that.
Charlotte Entrepreneurs is built around a different premise entirely...that the most valuable thing in a room full of builders isn't the business cards, it's the humans holding them.
We connect based on who you are, not simply what you do. And that one shift changes the game.
If you've been doing everything right and something still isn't moving, that's the conversation we actually have here.
Come to an event. Feel the difference.
And if you find yourself thinking "I've been looking for this" โ there's a deeper table waiting.

Most businesses have gaps in how their brand shows up in the world. Gianni Masciopinto is going to help you find yours, and close them.
Branding can be a supercharger for any business, but most leaders don't know how to assess what's working or not. In this Charlotte Entrepreneurs workshop, Gianni Masciopinto, owner of Babump Branding, will guide us through identifying and taking the first steps to close the 6 hidden brand gaps that hold most organizations back from growth and/or impact.
Why learn them? Because you can't solve a problem you can't identify.
This workshop will be part instruction, part integration. We'll be putting Gianni's lessons directly into practice in this workshop, and you'll walk out with a sharper lens to guide every next step your business takes with more confidence and intention.

There's a better version of networking. This is it.
Not only will this event put you around some incredible people, but we'll also challenge how you think.
If you've been to one of our events before, you know the drill...we're going to go deep, be intentional, and have real conversations!
And if you're new, you're in for a treat! You'll meet amazing people, get pushed to play smarter, and be forced to think critically about what needs to change in your life and business.
Here's the version we're all tired of...
You show up. You answer "so what do you do?" until it loses all meaning. You collect cards from people you'll never call. You drive home wondering why you went.
Charlotte Entrepreneurs exists because that version isn't good enough.
We get together monthly - entrepreneurs, builders, and the people figuring it out in real time - for something that actually feels different. We skip the elevator pitches. We skip the performance. We start from a different premise entirely: that incredible possibilities come to life when we connect based on who we are instead of based on what you do.
The evening runs from 6:30 to 8:30 PM (except for when we can't stop the conversations and keep chatting until they shut down).
We start with an open connection, but do so over a more specific conversation.
Then we go deeper, kicking off a facilitated discussion around a topic that matters.
People come back. Not because we ask them to. Because it's the only room in Charlotte where they leave feeling more like themselves than when they walked in.
If you've been looking for your people in Charlotte, this might be the night you find them.## Event Details
