Start Something Group
Innovate. Network. Learn
Many people feel stuck in their current situation and dream of having more freedom, control, and prosperity in what they do for a living. Whether it’s a side hustle, a new business, a new career, or even just a new project, you might be interested in participating in one of our ‘Start Something Groups”
What is a Start Something Group?
A welcoming space for people who want to build momentum and be around people who want to do the same. These groups are a grassroots community for people ready to take action - whether starting a business, a side hustle, a project, or a new career. We want to learn together, promote each other's projects, share resources, and build each other up. We meet regularly and share skills and problems so that we can benefit from collective wisdom and get more things done.
