Coffee & Convo: Bridging Main Street & Tech

Birmingham’s business ecosystem is often divided into two conversations: traditional small businesses that anchor our commercial corridors, and high-growth startups driving innovation and venture investment. But what if the future of Birmingham isn’t choosing one over the other, but intentionally connecting both?

This Coffee & Convo brings together entrepreneurs, founders, ecosystem builders, and community leaders to explore:

• The differences and surprising similarities between Main Street businesses and tech startups
• How funding models shape opportunity, growth, and access
• Why entrepreneurs often get boxed into labels like “small business owner” vs. “founder”
• The role of systems, data, and tools (like CRMs) in scaling any business
• The realities of access, barriers, and opportunity across both spaces and especially for women and underrepresented entrepreneurs
