About this Event

Every Third Tuesday | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Theme: Build a Real Business That’s Built to Last

​Can you launch a sustainable business with just $500? Yes—and we’re here to prove it.

​At this monthly hands-on lab, we invite aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, and side hustlers to brainstorm and map out a business idea that can be started with a budget of $500 or less. We’re talking long-term thinking: businesses that solve real problems, generate income, and can grow with time—not just a quick hustle.

​We’ll provide all the tools:

  • ​? Idea prompts, business model templates, and paper prototyping
  • ​? On-site mentors to help you shape your idea
  • ​? Canva tools and startup resources
  • ✨ A welcoming space to explore, sketch, and validate your idea


​By the end of the night, you’ll walk out with a real plan and the confidence to get started on your terms.

​? Light refreshments served.

​? One business idea will be selected to receive hands-on 1:1 mentorship, plus a free consultation with a business attorney and accountant to bring the idea to life and launch sustainably.

​All experience levels welcome. Bring a friend or come solo.
