ELUME Brain Trust: for Social Entrepreneurs

registration: $25

If you’ve ever thought, “How do I launch this idea?” or “I wish I had a group of smart, supportive entrepreneurs to help me figure this out,” this is for you.

We’re hosting our Brain Trust for Social Entrepreneurs—a space for innovative, socially minded entrepreneurs to brainstorm, connect, and turn challenges into real opportunities. Whether you’re launching something new, growing your business, or tackling an ongoing challenge, you’ll leave with fresh ideas, honest feedback, and a clear next step—all in a fun, focused environment with experienced entrepreneurs who get it.

social entrepreneur (noun)

An individual who develops and implements innovative solutions to address social and environmental challenges, applying entrepreneurial principles to create sustainable and scalable impact that combines business and social value creation.

What’s a Brain Trust?

Inspired by Pixar’s creative strategy (yes, the one behind those incredible movies), a Brain Trust is a no-BS, ego-free zone where you share your ideas, get feedback, and watch collective creativity work its magic. It’s all about collaboration, problem-solving, and leaving with actionable insights you can actually use.

What’s the Plan?

This isn’t your typical networking event—it’s real, raw, and designed to help you thrive.

Bring Your 5-Minute Presentation:

  • A quick intro to your business and what you’re all about.

  • Share a project you’re working on—something exciting, overwhelming, or both.

  • Present one specific challenge or question you’d love input on.

Let the Magic Happen: The group will dive in, brainstorm, and offer fresh, actionable ideas. You’ll leave with new perspectives and real solutions to tackle your next big move.

What to Bring: Your questions, creativity, and a simple PowerPoint (keep it light, no overthinking).

Why Should You Join?

Get Real Results: Walk away with feedback and ideas you can act on immediately.

Feel the Energy: There’s nothing like a room full of like-minded, experienced social entrepreneurs hyping you up and strategizing with you.

Find Your People: Build authentic connections with fellow innovators committed to making a social impact.

Have Fun: Because strategy is better with laughs, snacks, and zero judgment.

Seats are limited to keep it cozy and collaborative. Don’t wait—RSVP now to save your spot. Let’s brainstorm, problem-solve, and build a community where everyone rises.
