Hi Corinne! Welcome to the South Lake Union LeTip group. Are there any questions we can answer for you?

Thank you. I am a little hesitant to join simply because I do not fall within the "young" professional category, but when I looked at the photos for last week's Twist meet-up, there seemed to be a mixed age group. I have heard good things about you. :-)

Corinne, i would like to give an Empowerment workshop for this meetup group. I usually charge $100 per head for this workshop but would like to offer it to your group for free. Do you have a venue available?

Rick - I see you went to the Northgate Coffer & Referrals. I thought I was going to make it but wasn't able to. How was it? Also - How often does the group that you organize get together? - Garry Yanke

Hi Corinne!

Congrats on starting your new Meetup Group! Looks like a great opportunity for experts to network! :-)

I work at Meetup, so feel free to drop me a line if there's anything I can help you with.

You should also check out our Help center when you get a chance. It's a great place to start with any questions you might have:

**Update for The Bellevue Entrepreneur Network in 2010**

Hi Everyone, thank you for being patient while this group was under redesign in the last half of 2009. As you'll notice, Bellevue Entrepreneur Meetup is now Bellevue Entrepreneur Network. The new name more accurately reflects the purpose of the group. While we still meet in person, networking online through meetup, social networking sites, etc. is a big part of what we do.

Mission Statement:

1) To help local founder-owned businesses grow and become more profitable.

2) To provide a supportive environment for entrepreneurs to get together.

3) To serve as a connector to resources that will help your business grow, including other business networks, government organizations, free help and more.

4) To be a place where you can learn, be inspired, and teach.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1) Q: Why should I join the Bellevue Entrepreneur Network?
A: Bellevue is a hot bed of entrepreneurship. You might think that the reason behind this is because Bellevue is a wealthy community. While this is part of the story, the visionary thinking (think Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.) work ethic (RABANCO, COSTCO, etc.) and drive to achieve (Boeing, Nordstrom, etc.) have been major reasons why the individuals in this area have created businesses of lasting value. What's more, Bellevue was just voted the best place to live and start a business according to CNN:

A: We do a combination of events and online interaction all designed to help our businesses grow. Regular in person meetups and events plus social networking are two excellent tools to use in growing your small business.

3) Q: What kind of resources does BEN provide?
A: BEN can direct you to the right organization or individual to take your business to the next level. Often times, a member of BEN may have just what you've been looking for in the form of a partner, information, or capital. Here is a list of resources to get you started:

Here's to business success,
