Who We Are

We are a group of business owners and professionals who enjoy connecting with other local businesses and professionals.

It troubled us that there was a lack of quality networking opportunities in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities Metro area. We desired an alternative to the traditional "pay to play" business networking scene.

✔ Business and Professional Networking
✔ Northern Suburbs of the Twin Cities Metro Area
✔ No fee to participate – save your money for the waitstaff

Guests are encouraged—but never required—to invite someone new. Our goal is to grow organically by being a positive resource for local businesses and professionals to connect and grow.

✔ Come to connect, stay to grow!
