to Educate, Connect Local Entrepreneurs
Free, weekly program developed by the Kauffman Foundation
helps build startup communities nationwide
San Marcos, TX will soon be the newest home of a national program to engage, educate and connect local entrepreneurs. Founded by the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups is based on the notion that entrepreneurs network and discover solutions over a million cups of coffee. The free, weekly gathering helps build startup communities on a grassroots level.
Beginning March 31st, entrepreneurs, innovators, funders and other interested community members are invited to attend each Wednesday from 9 to 10 a.m. please follow this link to register.
The program’s model is consistent in each city: Every Wednesday morning, two early-stage startups present their companies to an audience of mentors, advisers and other entrepreneurs. Each founder presents for six minutes, followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience.
The inaugural 1 Million Cups in San Marcos will feature presentations by Taffy Nelson of Maternity Momentum, which is a business designed to help companies maximize retention, engagement and performance throughout the maternity process. Maternity Momentum offers support for companies with expectant employees while decreasing turnover due to maternity leave.
