1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids
Learn, Share, and Grow with Your Community
1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids will empower you to support your community’s entrepreneurs, give you the opportunity to provide helpful advice or critical feedback, make new connections or sustain long-running ones, or even find a new career opportunity! We encourage early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges to present their companies to the community for advice and engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and exploration of business failures and the shared learning that comes from those failures.
