Cherokee County is now the newest home of a national program designed to engage, educate and connect local entrepreneurs. Founded by the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups is based on the notion that entrepreneurs network and discover solutions over a million cups of coffee. The free, bi-weekly coffee gathering helps build startup communities on a grassroots level.

Entrepreneurs, innovators, funders, mentors and other interested community members are invited to attend each gathering on the first and third Wednesday from 9 to 10 a.m.

Led by the Cherokee Office of Economic Development and powered by their Fresh Start Cherokee brand, this local chapter, called One Million Cups Cherokee (1MC Cherokee), will be headquartered at The Circuit in Woodstock on the first Wednesday, while the third Wednesday will go on tour to a different Cherokee city each month.
