Cocoa + Convos

This isn’t your average networking event—it’s where you ditch the pitch and bring realness. Whether you’re celebrating a win, fighting through a challenge, or just trying to figure out what’s next, this is the program for you. It’s about sharing the messy, behind-the-scenes moments of entrepreneurship—the highs, the lows, and the “what the heck am I doing” moments.

What makes this event unique is its open mic night style, where you’ll have the chance to share your story, talk about your business journey, or get advice from the group. Whether you want to celebrate a success or tackle a challenge, the floor is yours to speak up and get feedback from others who are walking the same path.

We’re bringing together a group of like-minded HUSTLErs to swap stories, offer advice, and most importantly, listen. No empty small talk. Just real conversations and a whole lot of cocoa.

Got a big win? We’re here for it. Struggling with a problem? Let’s break it down together. You’ll leave with new ideas, genuine connections, and a crew of people who actually get it.
