Welcome to 1 Million Cups Capital Region!

1 Million Cups is excited to partner with the Rensselaer Chamber to host monthly meetings in 2025!

About the Community

1 Million Cups communities across the nation aim to present an inclusive and supportive front door to their local entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting entrepreneurs to the resources they need to start or grow their business. 1MC is a free program that educates, engages, and connects local entrepreneurs. The program fosters a culture of support and inclusivity, welcoming entrepreneurs to be open and honest about their businesses and the challenges they face. In the process, a local community of entrepreneurs can share experiences and identify ways to support each other.

Present Your Story

Entrepreneurs present business ideas to the local community and learn how those around them can support their business in its growth. The 1 Million Cups community gives you the opportunity to tell your story, ask for help with challenges, and connects you with a network of other business owners for support.
