Venture Capital

**T**he idea is simple: six women who are building something, sharing a meal together. No name tags, no agenda slides, no awkward "tell us your elevator pitch" moments. Just dinner. We'll start with a quick round of intros like who you are, what you're building, and maybe one thing that's been on your mind lately. Could be a win, could be a problem you're chewing on, could be "I have no idea what I'm doing but here I am." In my experience, when you put founders in a room together, you don't need to manufacture discussion. The good stuff just happens. **The practical bits** * $10 to 91454489 reserves your seat * Food and drinks on your own tab I started this group because I wanted a space like this for myself. Somewhere to meet other women who understand what it's like to build something from scratch. The late nights, the second-guessing, the small wins that no one else quite gets. If that sounds like something you need too, grab a seat. See you!

Looking to grow your network, meet like-minded entrepreneurs, or simply unwind with people who get the hustle? Join us for a relaxed evening of our regularly scheduled 3rd Thursdays **business networking in a casual setting**. Drop in, grab some food and drink, and start a conversation. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, this event is for anyone who values authentic connections over formalities.

**Business Opportunity Sharing** **BUILD BEYOND CORPORATE** *Beyond jobs, titles, and income ceilings* Many people today are rethinking how work fits into their lives, not because they hate what they do, but because they’re questioning the long-term ceiling. This session is designed for those who want **clarity before commitment**. We’ll walk through a business model that allows you to build an **additional stream of income alongside your current responsibilities**, without needing prior business experience or drastic lifestyle changes. **During the session, we’ll cover:** • How the business model works (in simple, practical terms) • Time commitment and flexibility, especially for working adults and parents • Risk level, startup considerations, and long-term sustainability • The support, mentorship, and systems available This session is suitable for: • Those exploring a side income or a future pivot • Individuals who feel capped or stuck and are considering alternatives • Anyone curious about building something scalable without quitting their current job • People who value transparency before making decisions This sharing is not about pressure or persuasion. It’s about giving you the **full picture**, so you can decide for yourself whether this aligns with your goals and current stage of life. **Come with an open mind.** **Leave with clarity.**

Event location change: Monk's Brew Club Bring extension cords if you have! Hey everyone! We organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but feel working alone at home can get a bit lonely :-) To ensure that we have both socialising AND working, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat, we typically do up to 3 rounds. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro (please come on time)** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50min of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) -> then 10min of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. -> Repeat * **Wrap Up and dinner (optional)** Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— Location is Monk’s Brew Club (57 East Coast Road, Singapore 428773). We have booked a separate room with multiple tables at the 2nd floor of the cafe, just walk all the way through to the back when you walk in, or ask the barista. Wifi + power plugs are there but best to bring a fully charged laptop and extension cords, just in case 🙃 You DO NOT have to pay anything, but since we are using the café space, it would be common courtesy to buy at least one drink. Please remember to release your RSVP in case you are not able to make it for the people on the waitlist and looking forward to seeing you there! :) Note: RSVP-ing and then no show will result in penalties: 1 No show = warning 2 No shows = de-prioritized for those in waitlist 3 No shows = blocked from future events Cheers Vicente

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) **👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
