Founders, Freelancers and Business Owners Networking Night

The Connected Circle is a curated business and community night hosted by Make Friends & Socialize, designed for entrepreneurs, freelancers, founders, and business owners who value real relationships over transactional networking.
This is not a pitch-heavy event.
It’s a space to slow down, connect intentionally, and build trust within a supportive community.

### Featured Business Spotlights

Up to 10 participants will be selected to briefly present their business:

• 5 minutes each
• Who you are
• What you do
• Who you help
• What kind of collaboration or support you’re open to

These spots are limited and selected in advance to keep the experience focused, respectful, and high-quality.

### What makes this event different

• Curated speakers (no open mic chaos)
• Community-first mindset (not sales-driven)
• Structured flow with space for genuine conversation
• A culture where members support members before looking elsewhere

### About the space

This event is hosted in partnership with a professional coworking space where members of Make Friends & Socialize work, collaborate, and host community experiences.
Attendees will get to experience the space naturally, and community members may receive preferred perks or discounts through this partnership.

### The experience

Following the business spotlights, the evening opens into relaxed networking with drinks and light bites provided, allowing conversations to continue organically in a welcoming setting.

### Who should attend

Entrepreneurs • freelancers • consultants • creatives • founders • professionals building something meaningful.
