Not a founder?
Not a problem. We welcome everyone, including those who are thinking of starting their own company down the road. We just ask that participants are founder-minded in some way.

ABOUT US
Started in October 2023, the Carroll Founders group is intended to bring together isolated solo-practitioners within the Carroll Gardens community to allow for in-person social interactions with like-minded professionals.
​
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS GROUP?
Anyone who works in an isolated manner and is looking for a group of peers to interact with for professional support. This could range from CEOs & Founders to those running their own gigs (freelancers, contractors, consultants, etc).
​
MEETUP STRUCTURE
Our monthly meetups start at 8:45am and begin with 20 min of mingling to allow rolling arrivals. We then shift to 60 min of either large group or small group discussions. Participants can leave early if needed ... 25% leave before 9:30am, 50% leave promptly at 10am, and the last 25% network informally for another 30-60 min.
GOALS
01
Facilitate individuals to feel happier and in turn more motivated
Research has proven that our bodies release endorphins during positive social interactions, which can result in a more motivated and productive mindset.
02
Enable a hyper local network that supports each other professionally
Leverage the benefits of networking, which include career advice, new ideas, cross-industry connections and introductions, and valuable information.
03
Create a platform to help uplift local businesses
Contribute to the health and happiness of our community, and support local small businesses.
IN PERSON
Prioritize in-real-life interactions over online banter
MONTHLY
Monthly, hyper-local, join when you can
SELF-DIRECTED
Participants can arrange 1:1s or small groups on their own if desired
