What we’re about
Every 3rd Monday of the month, 150+ entrepreneurs, small business owners, tech startups, startup founders, investors, coaches, mentors, and those who support them, attend our OrlandoPreneur Startup Happy Hour!
More than 5000 people have attended this event since 2023 - making us (unquestionably) the most popular business networking (and learning) event for Orlando's #1 startup ecosystem!
Why? Because our events are all high-energy, and high impact! Because we bring together a diverse and inclusive crowd of startup and small business ecosystem dreamers and doers! And, because attendees are making connections, gaining valuable insights, and creating opportunities!
Consider this: While Meetup.com's median "creating an impact" review rating for its 20,000 groups (and millions of meetups) is 5.1% - OUR Impact Rating is 11X that number (56.1%)!!
- “OrlandoPreneur marked its 3-year anniversary tonight at the Exchange Building in downtown Orlando. A packed room of entrepreneurial spirit - founders, small business owners, support organizations and investors, together for meaningful conversations and collaboration. Nights like this compress time. They move relationships and ideas forward faster than weeks of emails ever could.” - Scott Hill, Founder, Proxenia Accelerators
- “This really is a bucket list networking event every 3rd Monday. OrlandoPreneur rotates locations from Oviedo to Lake Nona to downtown Orlando to Sanford. Rupert has Central Florida covered.” - Brian Nagle, CEO, Waverly Resources
- “Stepping into my first OrlandoPreneur event as a business owner felt overwhelming at first. But what a transformation happened once I embraced the energy in the room. There’s something powerful about connecting with people who truly understand the journey. I left feeling energized and inspired, with genuine connections that I know will be valuable as I continue building my business.” - Yamina Marlow, Creative Lead and Branding Specialist, Yami Creative
