Join us for an AI Solo Entrepreneur Networking Event designed for founders, freelancers, and small business owners who want to learn, connect, and grow together. This networking-first experience centers on real conversations, peer journeys, and practical insights - no lectures or sales pitches.

Stop navigating AI alone. This is a collaborative space where entrepreneurs share real success stories, discuss lessons learned, and talk honestly about what’s working (and what’s not) when building AI-powered businesses. You’ll connect with peers and ecosystem leaders while building relationships that extend far beyond a single event.

Supported by trusted ecosystem partners including the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Texas Gulf Coast Small Business Development (SBDC), University of Houston Human-Centered AI Institute, Houston Angel Network, Stellar Bank, Metro City Bank, and Bank of Hope.

Highlights: 

  • Real-world AI success stories and lessons learned from entrepreneurs
  • Peer-driven conversations - no lectures or sales pitches
  • Honest discussions about what’s working (and what’s not) in AI adoption
  • Meaningful networking with founders, freelancers, and small business owners
  • Connections to trusted ecosystem partners and resources

This event is designed for solo entrepreneurs, founders, freelancers, and small business owners who are exploring or actively using AI in their businesses and want to connect, learn from peers, and grow within a supportive ecosystem.

Light refreshments are provided
