Meetup Event: Business Builders — Coffee + Clarity Session

I get a lot of messages from people who want to connect for different reasons—partnerships, potential investment, help building a leveraged business model, or job opportunities. This meet-up is a casual but structured way to meet in person, quickly understand what you’re working on, and determine clear next steps. 📍 Location Second Cup 4841 Yonge St · North York, ON 🕓 Time Aug 20th, 2026 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM 💵 Attendance Fee (Important) $10 for business-related attendance, including: business model feedback / guidance partnership discussions investment-related conversations strategic support / “how do I move forward?” planning If you’re coming for both job + business advice, it’s considered business-related and the $10 applies. ✅ RSVP (Required) Please RSVP so I can plan seating and manage time fairly for everyone. What this meet-up is (and isn’t) This is an intro + screening session designed to: meet you briefly clarify your direction identify fit suggest the next best step This is not a full consulting session, a guaranteed job interview, or a promise of investment/partnership. Those decisions happen after follow-up, if there’s a fit. Format / Timeboxing To keep it fair, conversations will be timeboxed (approximately 15–20 minutes per person) depending on turnout. You may stay and listen to other discussions. What to bring (typed + prepared) If you want help with a business model Bring a typed 1-page plan (rough is fine) including: what the business does who the customer is how it makes money what you’ve done so far what you need help with right now If you’re looking for a job Bring two printed copies of your resume. If you want to partner with me Bring a typed outline including: your concept (clear + simple) your responsibilities (what you will personally do each week) your expectation of my responsibilities what success looks like (timeline + goals) If you’re seeking investment (or want to discuss it) Bring a typed summary including: what traction you have (sales/users/LOIs/partnerships—anything real) how much capital you’re seeking exactly how the funds would be used why you’re the person/team to execute If this sounds like you, join me at Second Cup on Oct 15th from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM.
