1 MILLION CUPS is a free, nationwide program designed to educate, engage and accelerate early-stage startups. It was founded by the Kauffman Foundation and based on the notion that entrepreneurs can discover solutions and thrive when they collaborate over a million cups of coffee.

1 Million Cups meets at LaunchHouse on the 1st Wednesday of each month from 8:30 am to 10 am. The event is always free and begins with casual networking (and coffee!) from 8:30 to 9. At 9am, they’ll have one or two short presentations from local entrepreneurs along with a group Q&A and discussion. The meetup will conclude at 10 am.
