The North Country Entrepreneurship Meetup
Building a business is hard – but you don’t have to do it alone!
Entrepreneurship is an exciting and deeply rewarding journey, but it can also feel overwhelming or isolating at times—especially when you’re navigating it on your own. That’s why we created the North Country Entrepreneurship Meetup: a welcoming space where entrepreneurs come together to share their stories, celebrate wins, tackle challenges, and geek out about all things entrepreneurial.
Launched in June 2025, the program began as a monthly gathering rotating across St. Lawrence County. Since then, it has grown into a regional series of regular meetups spanning the entire seven-county North Country region. In partnership with other business support organizations throughout the region, we now host meetups in Lowville, Potsdam, Malone, Plattsburgh, Elizabethtown, Ticonderoga, and the Tri-Lakes.
Each meetup is grounded in the same core principles of networking, storytelling, and peer-to-peer support, and draws a diverse mix of innovators, entrepreneurs, and business owners from a wide range of industries and stages. All meetups are free to attend and open to everyone.
Join us for one - or all! - spread the word, and bring a friend.
