The 1 Million Cups (1MC) Susquehanna Valley community provides entrepreneurs with a monthly platform to present their businesses and receive immediate feedback and advice from industry experts, startup enthusiasts, and fellow business owners.
At each event, two entrepreneurs share the stories of their early-stage ventures: each after connecting with a speaker coach who helps them prepare. All of this happens, of course, over cups of coffee provided by local community sponsors and host organizations.
