1MCCR welcomes Diversions Gaming Café!
Iowa City now has a place for board game and card game enthusiasts to gather, play, and grab a bite to eat! As Kiva Iowa borrowers, Peterson and Finn have created a space where everyone—no matter their age or experience level—can feel welcome and have fun. At this session, they’ll share their journey of launching Diversions Gaming Café, the impact of community support, and the role of small business funding in bringing their vision to life.
Attendees will leave with insights into the challenges and rewards of starting a gaming café, an appreciation for the power of local entrepreneurship, and maybe even a new favorite game to check out!

About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids
The Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups (1MC) on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. We welcome early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges to present their companies. Typically, one or several representatives present before a panel of experts. They seek advice and then engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and explorations of business failures and the lessons learned!
The Cedar Rapids chapter is the sixth in the U.S., Every event is free, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Join us every 2nd & 4th Wednesdays @ 9:00 a.m. at NewBoCo Each event features a presentation or conversation with a new founder, entrepreneur, business leader, subject matter expert, or creative. Find a list of upcoming events and presenters on our Calendar.
