Description

This week's presenter: The Hummingbirds (ISA Fall 2021 Cohort) This week's presenter: The HummingbirdsThe Hummingbirds help companies generate awareness and sales through local social sharing. Hummingbirds are everyday community members who try a new experience and share it on social media to their own friends and followers, introducing hundreds if not thousands of people to new brands in their own community and beyond. Opposite of Instagram influencers, our Hummingbirds are your neighbors, your gym pals, and your coworkers — when they share content to their trusted audience of peers, people pay attention and take action. We are scaling from Des Moines to cities nearby. About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is a free, weekly program that happens nationwide designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs. Developed by the Kauffman Foundation, 1MC is based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. Early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges are welcome to present their companies to a panel of experts 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. 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is led by a group of passionate volunteers: Jourdan McChesney (NewBoCo)Eric Engelmann (Iowa Startup Accelerator)Laura Gansemer (Office Evolution)Rina Jensen (Rina Jensen.com)Julie Lammers (America's SBDC)Emily Bettridge (Groundswell Cafe)Maurice Davis (Empower by GoDaddy)Jessica Abdoney (NewBoCo)Amy Eaton (Keller Williams Legacy Group)Sponsors1MCCR is sponsored by local companies and organizations that support our entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem:
