Events
1 Million Cups is open to everyone and invites those from every stage of their entrepreneurial journey to participate. It is a community of innovators that welcomes students, business leaders, founders and more. Hear from founders, connect with resources or explore what is happening in the West Valley. The West Valley chapter of 1 Million Cups hopes to capture the diversity of our community and serve as a welcome mat for everyone interested in entrepreneurship in the West Valley. No registration or membership is required.
This event happens weekly and is one of three 1 Million Cups communities across the Phoenix Metro Area.
Schools take a summer vacation; your business networking doesn’t have to! Join 1 Million Cups West Valley as we open our doors to everyone growing a business and a child. The same great 1 Million Cup format AND your children are welcome to join on-site under your supervision. We will have Little Cupper mini activities including coloring pages and opportunities to work on their entrepreneurial skills. We believe you can raise your child and build connections at the same time.
It is free to attend and will take place at our new summer location, Codobe Work Space in Surprise, every Wednesday in June and July, except for July 3rd, there will be no meeting due to the holiday.
Location: Codobe, 12211 W Bell Rd #107, Surprise, AZ 85378
