“Entrepreneur Stories is a wonderful mingling ground for all levels of entrepreneurs. I had a great evening talking to seasoned pros along with budding entrepreneurs on the trials and tribulations of running your own business. Although each journey is unique, there are so many moments that pose similar challenges that we all go through some of which spark an even steeper tangent of growth. An insightful night with two experienced speakers has left me fresh with new ideas for my business.”

“The Entrepreneur Series hosted by Banyan was seriously legit. The speaker lineup was on point, with founders from OnTheList and Creature Comforts on the panel sharing super valuable insights on their startup stories. But the best part was the awesome vibe and the quality of the audience - I got to chat with a bunch of driven, ambitious folks and made some promising new connections. The conversations were thought-provoking and left me feeling energized. I can't wait for the next one - it's an invaluable resource for any entrepreneurs or any curious individuals like me.”

“For budding entrepreneurs and early stage start ups, growing businesses and even well seasoned operations, The Entrepreneur Series is a tremendous opportunity to learn from people who have ‘been there and done that’. These moderated conversations between successful business people who share fascinating stories is well worth an evening of your time.”

“Entrepreneur stories is such an inspiring event. I'm not particularly looking to build my own business right now, but hearing these stories just reminds everyone that by daring and working hard you can make it and reach a fruitful professional journey. It feeds your entrepreneur mindset and you're out of this evening full of new inspirations.”
