1 MILLION CUPS COMES TO THE CAPE FEAR REGION
Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012 - a free program designed to connect, educate and inspire entrepreneurs around the country.
As an active member of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, SCORE is excited to participate in the launch of 1 Million Cups Wilmington, Feb. 12, 9AM - 10AM, at UNCW's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 803 South College Road, Suite G.
Join us for the Feb. 12th launch, or drop by any Wednesday thereafter from 9AM - 10AM. Don't miss out on this free weekly opportunity to connect with entrepreneurs in our community over coffee, as we help businesses grow and solve common problems.
