VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (July 21, 2022) — The HIVE, a business resource center located in the heart of the City’s Central Business District Town Center, will be the new home for 1 Million Cups (1MC) entrepreneurial gatherings.
The 1MC program offers local entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to showcase their startups to a diverse audience of mentors, advisors and entrepreneurs by way of a six-minute educational presentation. Entrepreneurs will then gain insight into possible ways they can improve their businesses, gather real-time feedback, connect with a community that truly cares about their progress and walk away feeling like they have advanced their business.
These weekly sessions will offer a network of support and coaching for the diverse, nascent companies in our community. Join 1MC every Wednesday at 9 a.m. at The HIVE located at 140 Independence Blvd. in Virginia Beach.
