Prince William Chamber partners with 1 Million Cups

1 Million Cups Prince William will meet weekly CenterFuse co-working space at 9071 Center Street in Manassas.

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce will partner with 1 Million Cups Prince William. 

1 Million Cups Prince William brings local entrepreneurs together to engage, educate, and connect over a cup of coffee. The group meets each week in Manassas.

“The Chamber is dedicated to creating powerful connections and resources for community businesses, giving them access to a multitude of opportunities to engage with other businesses. CEO of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, Debbie Jones says, “Our commitment to the local business community continues with our partnership with 1 Million Cups, handing local business owners an amazing tool to engage on a more personal level with other business owners.”

“I’ve been active from the beginning as a founding organizer with 1 Million Cups, because it’s about small businesses owners and professionals discussing the issues we deal with daily,” said Jim DiModica, past Chamber Chair and co-founding organizer of 1 Million Cups Prince William. “We are excited to partner with the Chamber more formally.”

Every Wednesday morning at Centerfuse, 9701 Center Street in Manassas, from 8:30-10:00 a.m., the group brings one early-stage startup to present their companies to the audience. Following each presentation, a 45-minute question and answer session follows with the audience engaging with the founder in the discussion. 

Every meeting is open to the public and free of charge, with coffee provided. No registration is required to attend a 1 Million Cups Prince William event.

1 Million Cups expanded to Prince William County and Manassas in 2013 and originally held meetings at the Hylton Performing Arts Center. Every Wednesday morning, 1 Million Cups groups across the U.S. meet to help entrepreneurs.
