Breakfast Lab

Breakfast Lab is a welcoming, weekly gathering for founders and small business owners who want to learn alongside others and feel a little less alone while building something.

Each Thursday morning, we get together to explore practical topics, share experiences, ask honest questions, and connect with people who just get it. Some weeks are lightly facilitated workshops, some are guided conversations, but all are designed to spark learning, connection, and forward movement.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just show up curious.

Come for one session or make it part of your weekly rhythm—each Breakfast Lab stands on its own while helping build relationships over time.

And if you’d like to stay and keep working, coworking at 20Fathoms is free on Thursdays for Breakfast Lab attendees.
