The entrepreneurial journey is often associated with independence and creativity, but success rarely happens in isolation. Building a strong community can be key for sharing ideas, gaining support, and navigating challenges. Studies, including one from the U.S. Small Business Administration, suggest that businesses with solid networks and mentorship may have a better chance of lasting beyond five years. Entrepreneurs who engage with their communities often find greater resilience, collaboration, and effectiveness in their work.

But not just any community will do. For entrepreneurs to truly thrive, they need a network that aligns with their values. Shared values foster meaningful connections, trust, and collaboration, forming the foundation for fruitful partnerships. In today’s world, finding such a community can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Enter Jules Schroeder.
