About us
This is a free casual group of small business owners & prospective business owners who are looking to connect & learn from each other. Our flagship event is a monthly happy hour that rotates around the region that we have been running since 2022.
Note that service providers (brokers, lenders, lawyers, etc.) are welcome to join as well, but under a strict "no-selling" rule. Our meetups are for connection & learning!
Note: Sometimes MeetUp tries to prompt you to pay for a subscription -- this is not required!

November 2026 SMB/ETA Happy Hour (Ballard)
Obec Brewing, 1144 NW 52nd St, Seattle, WA 98107, USA, Seattle, WA, USOur next happy hour will be on Monday, November 23rd, 5pm onwards at Obec Brewing in Ballard.
As always, open invite, no need to RSVP, just come hang! Usually people stick around until 7ish.
Couple FYIs:
- No Selling! This is a casual networking environment, not a place to be selling.
- General focus on small business owner-operators or prospective buyers -- this is really designed for folks interested in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition ("ETA").
- You can usually find us by finding me wearing some Blooma Tree gear.
