About this event

For one to truly understand what makes an individual entrepreneur thrive we must consider the support network that surrounds them. 

As part of Mount Royal's LaunchPad Program, the monthly Circle meetups bring together innovators and founders, students and alumni, and inspiring guests to gather and grow. 

Winter Circle Meetups

Wednesday, March 24, 2021 | 4:00pm - 5:30pm

We have invited two members of our community to share a current roadblock and they will be tapping into your collective feedback to assist in them moving past barriers.

Founders to be announced soon!

Why attend?

Whether you are pursuing an innovative career or starting a social enterprise or a for-profit business, you will benefit by learning from your peers and immersing yourself into a community of like-minded individuals.

The Circle meetups are an opportunity to casually connect with both students, alumni and community members. 

What to expect?

The Circle Meetups have a no-pitch, no-sell policy. This is a fun and inspiring space to seek advice and to explore mutual and new connections. In doing so, we begin to see the abundance of knowledge remarkable Mount Royal students and alumni hold transfer from one individual to the next; from firm to firm; from community to community. Further, the Circle Meetup and its guests help you develop and refine the skills necessary for your future.

Common themes that emerge in monthly meetups include business development, value creation, networking, empathy, technology, sales, venture capital, systems-thinking, product management, and more.

The Institute was grateful to borrow the Trico Changemaker Studio’s original Hive Mind Circle gathering for the digitally adapted LaunchPad Circle Meetups this year.

Hive Mind Circle is a custom program made to support changemakers on campus who are facing a challenge in their work. The MRU community has an amazing collection of people, organizations and creative minds and the Hive Mind Circles are a way of tapping into this collective genius to support each other and elevate our work together. They are a combination of Peer Input Circles and Wise Crowds.

Thank you to the Trico Changemakers Studio for your collaboration and support while we all adapt to unprecedented times!

If you have any suggestions for a digital gathering format, please send ideas to innovate@mtroyal.ca.
