The 1 Million Cups platform in New York City is a safe space for aspiring early- and growth-stage entrepreneurs to test the viability of their products, services or strategies to reach their target customer, to launch or to expand.

If you’re an entrepreneur looking for honest, community-driven, straightforward feedback from potential customers, come join us! We meet the third Tuesday of every month at Galvanize, a collaborative campus for tech education and entrepreneurship.

We hail from different industries and seek to bring our whole selves to these monthly morning convenings. Meaning, we’re the dad of three who works in private equity, and the overworked, overtired nonprofit executive who manages an organization focused on youth development.

To join, the only requirement is that you participate and commit to sharing your personal and professional insights to the best of your ability.

This isn’t your typical “pitch” event; in fact, we like to think of ourselves as the “anti-pitch” event. No stress, no judgment, no checks--but lots of hard-to-find intel from people you’d like to one day consider clients, customers, and friends.
