Join us in Oakland County — Michigan’s only location for the Kauffman Foundation’s free, nationally-renowned 1 Million Cups (1MC) program for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs.
The presentations are followed by a 20-minute Q&A session with the audience. You are encouraged to be open and honest about your business and the challenges you face. Everyone that attends 1MC is there to support each other and learn as part of their entrepreneurial journey. As volunteers across the U.S., we network and discover solutions together over “a million cups of coffee.”
