What is Urban Enterprise's First Friday Mixer Series?

First Friday Enterprise Mixer is a relaxed yet intentional monthly gathering—held the first Friday of every month—designed to bring entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and community builders into the same room, face to face. It’s about real conversations, authentic relationships, and shared momentum. Whether you’re new to the ecosystem or deeply established, this mixer offers a welcoming environment to meet people, spark ideas, and build connections that move your work forward.

This isn’t about hard pitching or awkward networking—it’s about community, collaboration, and being surrounded by people who believe in growth, opportunity, and collective progress.
