Manly Entrepreneurs - monthly Meetup
Monthly gathering of north beaches entrepreneurs with free drinks and solid peer-to-peer problem solving, worth the schlep.
You'll kick off with half an hour of straight networking and free drinks, then move into a Lean Mastermind session where you pitch a specific challenge facing your business and get real feedback from other founders in the room. The second half features a speaker tackling a timely topic (speaker and subject TBA each month), followed by Q&A. The format works because it balances structure with genuine peer problem-solving, not just surface-level schmoozing. Bring a concrete challenge or idea if you want to get the most out of the mastermind slot, though you'll learn just as much listening to what others are wrestling with.
