Step away from the screen and build real-world connections at the BizBestie Walk in Montclair, NJ. This curated experience is designed for women entrepreneurs at any stage—from side hustlers to established founders—who are looking for a low-pressure environment to meet like-minded professionals. Instead of traditional networking, we focus on conversation-first interactions that foster genuine friendships and business support.
The event begins with a visit to the Acorn General Store, followed by a 45-minute guided networking walk through town. During the walk, you'll participate in rotating 1:1 chats, ensuring you meet multiple new 'BizBesties' in a relaxed setting. The experience concludes with a casual coffee meetup at Java Love Coffee Roasting Co., where you can deepen your new connections.
Guided by a local community host, this event removes the awkwardness of traditional networking. You will receive a group list and social links prior to the walk to help spark conversations, and you'll be invited to join a supportive online community afterward to keep the momentum going.
