Happy Networking Wednesday!

This week, we’re playing Business Bingo!

How many of the statements on our bingo card can you tick off? From working with a client abroad to running your business from home, changing your business name or accidentally sending an email to the wrong person… we’re sure there are a few you’ll recognise!

Tell us how many you can tick off in the comments — and if one of them has a story behind it, we’d love to hear it!

Let’s see how much our Cool Ventures community has in common.

🎉 A big congratulations to Megan! 🎉

We're delighted to share that Megan has officially passed her apprenticeship! 👏💚

Happy Networking Wednesday! 💚

Networking isn't just about telling people what you do — it's about finding the right people who can help you, collaborate with you or introduce you to your next opportunity.

So this week, let's try something different...

👇 Tell us what your business is looking for right now.

It could be:
🔹 A new supplier
🔹 A potential collaborator
🔹 Someone with a particular skill
🔹 New customers or referrals
🔹 Advice or expertise
🔹 A venue or event opportunity
🔹 Someone to help you take your business to the next level

Tell us what you need in the comments, along with a little about your business.

You never know who might be reading — the person who can help could be right here in our community! 👀

Let's see if we can make some introductions this Wednesday. 🤝💚
