Q4 2026 · Free · Zoom
Start the business, finally.
Circle One is a free 6-week Zoom mentorship circle for people at idea or just-started. Thursdays 7–8pm Eastern, October 15 through November 19.
Through Entrepreneurship is a 501(c)(3). Six weeks, a real calendar, no curriculum to buy.
01 — What this is
A room built for the next honest move.
Circle One is a group for people at idea-or-just-started. Mentors have actually built a business. We meet for one 60-minute Zoom a week, with an optional 20-minute 1:1 between sessions in weeks 2–5.
Done means you took one action you were not taking alone.
One prompt
A useful question, not a lecture.
The circle talks
Mentees work it out. Mentors jump in when asked or when someone is stuck.
Name the action
Each person commits to one move before next Thursday.
The action can be a first customer conversation, a first dollar, a first yes, or another concrete move that gets the idea out of your head.
02 — Who it's for
Come before the business feels ready.
You have an idea you have not started, or you have just started without a repeatable first customer.
You can make all six Thursdays, 7–8pm ET, on camera.
Not for
- Scale-ups or fundraising strategy
- “I need a co-founder for a Series A”
- People looking for a course or certificate
- Anyone who already knows they will miss a week
