Founders Network: Stevens Point Meet-up

Business owners and non-profit directors at all stages are invited to expand their networks by meeting other entrepreneurial members of their communities and the folks behind entrepreneur-support programs close to home! Founders Network events are intended to make space for local entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-minded individuals to meet, share, and cultivate ideas together.

Founders Network will welcome student Haley Densow, founder of DormDash, to share her founding story! Haley won first place at The Pitch competition in 2024 for her concept of an on-campus food delivery system that allows students use their meal plans to have food delivered to their dorm rooms.

This Founders Network session is tentatively scheduled at the CREATE Community Room at 1300 Maria Drive in Stevens Point on Wednesday, Sept. 17, from 8-9:30 a.m., and is open to folks from any nearby community, free of charge. All attendees are offered a free month membership to CREATE, a coworking and community space in Stevens Point.

By attending this event, you are invited to:

-Grab a cup of coffee to start your day

-Meet business owners and executive directors from the community

-Hear a founding story or a concept for a new product, service, or business in the community

-Exercise your creative thinking muscles

-Share current hurdles you are facing in your organization

-Offer up your services, or request help finding some!
