253 Connections: Where Pierce County Entrepreneurs Find Each Other (Graham)

253 Connections is a monthly community for early stage entrepreneurs in Pierce County who want real connection, support, and confidence without the awkward or transactional networking vibe.

Hosted in partnership with Pierce County Library, these free meetups rotate monthly across library branches, making it easier for local business owners to actually find each other, share resources, and build meaningful relationships.

Each session features guided conversation, practical insights, and time to connect with other entrepreneurs who are in similar stages of building. Attendees are also invited to share their business, upcoming events, and resources at the community resource table, creating an easy, low pressure way to promote what they are working on.

Whether you are just getting started or looking to feel less isolated as a business owner, this space is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and genuinely useful. Come to one session or join us throughout the year. Every event stands on its own while contributing to a growing local entrepreneur community.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
