Two opportunities to network, learn & GROW next week! 

🐝  Pictured above: Liz McDonough loves what she does and wants to change up the way we network for business in her new ‘Wellness Collaborative’ series.  We are excited to offer Wellness Collaborative #2 here at The Hive RI & the Mill at Lafayette next Monday, July 17th 8:30 – 9:30am.  Come join us as she leads us through a light bodyweight workout, a walk in Ryan Park and we’ll have fun and network all along the way.  Learn more & register here! 

🐝 Another event next week:  The Power of Mind, Body & Business:  Self-Care Tips for Productivity.  We are excited to welcome back Alyssa Knapp of Integrated Wellness Journeys to share Summer productivity tips on Wednesday, July 19th at 5:30pm.  Come enjoy some light refreshments and great company while also learning how to enjoy your Summer while also being productive in your business.  For more information or to register, click here

🐝 Offices available!
The Hive is still available for open coworking, and we still have one Hive office available (month to month, private but not ‘sound’ private).  Elsewhere in the mill complex, we have a beautiful private office space open on the top floor in the Rodman Building that is right off of the stairs and elevator and adjacent to the central common area.  We also have some ‘raw’ larger space on the top floor that can be designed and built out.

Free and open to the public.  A facilitator led discussion on a wide range of topics and tomorrow is a DreamBuilding Visions workshop with Benjamin B. Blackett.  For more information and to register, click here.  

Thursday is a double header with…

Rhode Island Inno’s ‘State of Innovation’ at Sprout
:
Join our friends from Sprout and RI Inno as they invite the community to come together for networking, libations and insights from thought leaders, startups and/or entrepreneurs. They’ll be discussing issues related to a certain topic – may it be health tech, women in entrepreneurship, the VR space and more.

Panel:
Arnell Milhouse, CEO of CareerDevs & Eric Bai, co-founder of TextUp

Moderator:
Courtney Gabrielson, Staff Writer at Rhode Island Inno 

This edition of Rhody Inno’s State of Innovation event will focus on philanthropic initiatives across the startup and tech community; who is driving change for the better, how they’re doing it and how other entrepreneurs can implement similar programs while they build companies of their own.  Click here to register!

Venture Cafe Thursday Gathering:
Have you made it to 225 Dyer St. in Providence yet?  If not, you’re missing out…just saying!  Every Thursday night they have a ‘gathering’ and this Thursday our old friend Thorne Sparkman of the Slater Fund will be moderating a couple of RI’s thought leaders as they discuss: “The Promise and Pitfalls of Outsourcing Technology Development” from 6:40 – 7:30 PM.  Come hear what Dave Durfee, founder of Bay Computer and adjunct professor at Brown University, and Aidan Petrie, founding partner of NEMIC (New England Medical Innovation Center) and co-founder of Ximedica have to say! 

And, before this big talk our dear friend, Katie McDonald of bnourished, will be talking about: “Self Care: Food, Thought, Time” from 5:40- – 6:30 PM.

Challenge your current approach to self-care habits. Rather than seeing the “self-care shoulds” as nuisances or obstacles to your otherwise productive day, learn simple, implementable strategies to leverage them for greater wellbeing and sustained professional growth.

But wait, there’s more!  

Open Office Hours | 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Connecting emerging entrepreneurs and startups with industry and sector experts for 30 minutes of free advising. This week features experts in cybersecurity, operations, law, finance, and product strategy. Click here to book with this week’s advisors.

Open Mic | 5:30

Each month, they hand the mic over to a few emerging entrepreneurs, giving them 60 seconds to pitch their concept and the resources they are seeking from the community to enhance their product offering. Sign up today: venturecafeprovidence.org/getinvolved
