MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee networking event is helping connect women entrepreneurs to not only grow their business connections but increase profits too.
The event Network and Chill is hosted by The Collab. Part of the organization's goal is to promote local businesses and bring together owners who wouldn't usually come across each other. It was started by Jessie Ueberfluss and Emily Baldwin. Ueberfluss owns Hooked Social Media and Yard Games MKE. Baldwin owns Beautifully Layered and BL Event Rentals.
On Thursday night, the event was held at Elle Studio + Wellness.
Network and Chill caps out around 25 people. Organizers said that helps keep the space intimate and creates a non-competitive environment. There is also a bell that rings every 5-7 minutes to keep people rotating and talking to new entrepreneurs.
The Collab hosts speaker series and business showcases throughout the year.
Watch the videos above to see what these events are like and hear from two entrepreneurs, The Lost Art Photography and Patchwork Organizing, who have been able to grow their networks and businesses.
