Cups at the CoWorks: Group *Therapy for your Business

This free event is perfect for entrepreneurs with business ideas, small businesses who are hitting a wall, and even larger businesses who are looking for some honest feedback from the Syracuse community.

Our audience varies but regular attendees include lawyers, app developers, accountants, and more!

How it works:

Each group session has two "Spotlight" businesses. 

Each spotlight business will have 3 minutes to tell us about their business and 6 minutes to tell us about a problem their business is facing.

After each spotlight presentation, the audience will spend 20 minutes asking questions and providing feedback.

Quarterly on the First Wednesday of the month (March, June, September, December)

Free to attend as an audience member as well as a spotlight business (must apply)

Open Hack

2nd Tuesday of every month starting at 6pm

OpenHack Syracuse is a casual social coding meetup with a simple purpose:
Code together, on anything.

We welcome local developers and designers of all skill levels, interests, ages genders, you-name-it to get together to write code or push pixels. We’ll provide good food, good people, and creative energy.

Here’s how OpenHack works:

You can hack on anything! Any language, framework, public/open-source, personal projects, client work… anything!
You don’t have to have an idea to hack on, you can come join someone else
We’ll kick things off with a quick round of introductions, to say who you are, what you’re working on, and if you’d like help with your idea
Food and drinks will be provided
Feel free to join us - bring a laptop, a project, and a friend!
