May chat is tomorrow - Wednesday, May 6

CHATS are our regularly-scheduled programming we’ve been running for years now. they’re once/month where we chat, brainstorm, problem solve, and talk through challenges and wins, twists and turns of small business. we don’t have any magic answers but know that we’re not alone but can feel alone. and we can learn from each other!

we meet over coffee and snacks at Indigo & Violet Studio 9am - noon. tickets are $12 and available two weeks before each date.

wed. May 6 - CHAT

- chat this Wednesday, May 6
- work Wednesday, May 20

This Wednesday is our first chat of the year. Gather with other small business owners for coffee, community, ideas, and support. We can brainstorm on a specific topic or challenge you’re having or chat a bit more broadly about the overall state of small business in these chaotic and devastating times. We can learn from each other and we’re not alone!

All ticket sales from February’s chat will be donated to support businesses and communities in Minnesota destabilized and torn apart by ICE. Open for Tomorrow Fund is providing micro-grants for biz folks in MN.

Tomorrow is our second-to-last chat of the year?! Join us to chat with other small business owners and creatives - we meet from 9-noon at .

It’s certainly been a tough year for small businesses filled with lots of uncertainty. We appreciate folks for joining us to talk frankly about what’s going on behind the scenes, sharing resources, and brainstorming ideas over coffee and breakfast. We leave every chat with a reminder that small businesses are so damn important and we have lots to learn from one another. Thanks for sticking around.

And a reminder that we aren’t on social as much but we send reminder emails when our tickets launch every month if you’d like to stay in touch that way!
