March Networking with Charlotte Entrepreneurs (3/18/26)

You show up. Exchange business cards. Answer "what do you do?" 47 times. Leave with a stack of contacts you'll never follow up with.

Nothing changes.

Sound familiar?

Most networking events are transactional. You're collecting contacts, not building relationships. And you leave feeling like you just wasted 2 hours and $0-30.

Charlotte Entrepreneurs is different.

6:30-7:00 PM – Real Networking (Not the Fake Kind)
Connect with other entrepreneurs over drinks. No elevator pitches. No forced business card exchanges. Just real conversations with people who actually get what you're going through.

7:00-8:15 PM – Interactive Discussion (Mini-Mastermind Style)
We pick a specific topic (like defining innovation, crafting your vision, building your circle, or thinking differently about growth) and dive in. Small group discussions. Real insights from people who've been where you are. Actionable takeaways you can use immediately.

8:15-8:30 PM – Connect & Collaborate
Continue conversations with people you actually want to stay in touch with. No awkward "let's grab coffee sometime" that never happens. Real connections.

Here's what past attendees have said:

"I've been to dozens of networking events in Charlotte. This is the only one where I left with actual value—not just business cards."

"I found my next business partner at this event. Worth way more than $25."

"Finally—a networking event that doesn't make me want to fake a bathroom emergency and leave early."

What makes it worth it:

• You connect based on who you are, not just what you do
• You leave with clarity and solutions, not just contacts
• You're surrounded by people who actually understand the entrepreneurial journey
• 50-75% of attendees come back (or become members)—that doesn't happen at free networking events

Entrepreneurs and small business owners in Charlotte who are:

• Tired of surface-level networking that goes nowhere
• Looking for real support from people who get it
• Done grinding alone
• Ready to connect with people who ask better questions than "what do you do?"

That's worth way more than $25.
