Happy Hour and a Half at Just Pop In with The Startup Ladies

☀️ The Startup Ladies Presents: Summer ’Bout Town ☀️

Bites, Sips & Women-Owned Vibes | Monthly Meetups May–September 2025

Join us on Thursday, August 21 for a beverage with your fellow Startup Ladies members to check in, catch up, and celebrate recent successes. We'd love to see you there!

Summer 'Bout Town Series Overview

In addition to our regular educational programming, this summer, we’re intentionally making space for something that’s essential to your personal and professional growth—authentic relationships.

Once a month, from May through September, we’re meeting up for tea, lunch, or happy hour and a half with fellow founders, investors, and executives who support women entrepreneurs. This is your a chance to genuinely connect with people who may become future friends, mentors, collaborators, or even customers.

Feeling unsure about walking into a room of people you haven’t met yet?

You’re not alone—and you’re absolutely welcome here. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be warmly greeted and introduced to others at your table. You’ll be seated with experienced conversationalists and fellow attendees who are just as excited to connect. We'll have some thoughtfully prepared conversation starters at each table to help spark meaningful dialogue.

Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, new to networking, or a seasoned pro, you’ll be in good company. You’ll enjoy delicious food, engaging conversation, and leave having made at least a few new connections—maybe even a future customer, mentor, collaborator, or friend.
