A new year, a fresh start. Learn the practical steps to launch, grow, and go for it in 2026.
About this Event

Join Mid-Columbia Innovation Hub for our January HubTalk!

The new year always brings that spark of possibility, and with it, the sense that this might be the moment to finally go for it. Whether you’re starting your very first venture, spinning up your next idea, or stepping back into entrepreneurship after time away, this HubTalk is built to give you a realistic boost of confidence and a clear sense of where to begin.

We’re bringing together a panel of local success stories who’ve actually been there: founders who remember what it felt like to take the leap, make the early calls, and figure things out one imperfect step at a time. You’ll hear what starting looked like for them, including the doubts, the surprises, and the choices that mattered most.

If you’re feeling the pull to start something in 2026 but aren’t sure how to begin, you’ll walk away with inspiration, practical insight, and a reminder that you’re not doing this alone. The resources are here. The community is here. And this might be the year you go for it.

Light bites available -- Cash bar (and NAs) available from The Ruins.


HubTalks are a monthly networking and informational event hosted by Mid-Columbia Innovation Hub and Mid-Columbia Economic Development District. They occur every 2nd Thursday of the month at 5:30pm. HubTalks are open to the public, with no membership required.
