Side Hustle → Solopreneur
A monthly meetup in Chicago for makers, side-hustlers, and indie founders who want real connections and real momentum. Come for the people. Leave with energy.
I started this group because building alone is hard. The internet is great, but nothing replaces sitting across from someone who's going through the same thing. This meetup is the community I wish I had when I was starting out.
Not your typical networking event.
This is a community, not a mixer. Here's what makes it different.
Casual, not corporate
No name tags, no awkward icebreakers. Just real people having real conversations about what they're building. Think coffee shop vibes, not conference room energy.
Connections that stick
The people you meet here become collaborators, accountability partners, and friends. This isn't networking — it's community building.
Practical takeaways
Every meetup includes a focused topic or workshop. You'll leave with something actionable — not just a stack of business cards.
Hot seats and feedback
Bring your biggest challenge and get real-time feedback from people who get it. No judgment, just honest perspectives from fellow builders.
Momentum and accountability
Set a goal at one meetup, report back at the next. The group keeps you honest and moving forward.
Hybrid option available
Can't make it to Chicago? Join virtually. The hybrid format means you can participate from anywhere.
If you're building something, you belong here.
It doesn't matter if you're pre-revenue or profitable. If you're putting in the work to build something meaningful, this group is for you.
Stop building alone.
