Event Details

main street ventures

networking, lunch & expert professional guidance for under $15!

register early!  

(each lunchtime office hour session is limited to 12 business owners)

our rotating panel of professionals offer lunchtime office hours to provide the small business owner & entrepreneur with an affordable, practical & creative way to address some of their most critical business challenges.

 

 

this month's topic

what's stopping  you from building your business?  not enough time?  not enough money?  not enough know-how?  we're going to discuss a couple of approaches small business owners can employ to pursue opportunity without being limited by their current level of resources. 

 

who are the main street mentors (sm)?

our main street mentors (sm) consist of our own staff or professional service partners.   each mentor dedicates all or a significant portion of their business to meeting the unique needs of small and emerging business owners.

 

what format does this event follow?

we begin with open networking & casual conversation.  At noon we transition to a more structured format, starting with each attendee introducing themselves and their business.  it's up to each participant as to whether they wish to share the particular challenges for which they are seeking guidance.  our mentor of the day provides a brief presentation over lunch, then privately meets with individual participants to discuss their particular needs (the goal being to provide tangible help & guidance and not just a generalized consultation).

 

11:45am - 12:00pm ::  arrival & informal networking
12:00pm - 1:00pm :: lunch, short presentation with Q & A
1:00pm - 1:30pm ::

informal networking & one-on-one consultations

where are your lunchtime office hours held?

our lunchtime office hours are conducted in hopkinton at the zen bungalow  -- a coworking community of freelancers, entrepreneurs & remote workers.  we look forward to seeing you there!

Hosted By

zen bungalow



the zen bungalow is both a physical space and a diverse community.

as a physical space, we think we have something pretty special.  by day we're a light, airy and inspiring professional office -- with a conference room and zen water garden rounding out our special features.   and because we think work - life balance is important to success in both, we occasionally come alive at night (and on weekends) with workshops, yoga classes and cultural events.

our community is as diverse as our space.  our consultants, freelancers, remote workers, small businesses & non-profit organizations all contribute to creating the simplicity, clarity and focus that is our hallmark.

an initiative of main street ventures, the zen bungalow is the place for unparalleled strategic collaboration.  and fun times.  check us out!
