What we’re about
To build the grassroots movement of idea generation Beer and Napkins will focus on idea generation, encouraging conversations, and building connections through the establishment of Communities of Designs (CoDs). This group will focus on building upon connections, conversations, ideas, and presentations from personal ideas and community needs. Sketchnoting and doodling are highly encouraged. We will meet bi-monthly at local third places such as breweries and pubs in Greenville. #beerandnapkins#thirdplaceideas

### Where ideas take shape—through collaboration and action.
Our next Napkins to Prototype (N2P) Meetup is happening Tuesday, March 25 at 5:00 PM at OpenWorks Coworking (directions) and we’re excited to highlight another key collaborator in the startup ecosystem. Whether you joined us last time or this is your first N2P, this is your chance to push your idea forward, connect with others, and explore what’s possible.
5:00 - 6:00 - Happy Hour
6:00 - 7:00 - Ideation Session (arriving late, see our after-hours guest access)### Why OpenWorks?
OpenWorks is more than just a co-working space—it’s a hub for entrepreneurs, creatives, and problem-solvers looking to grow and build within the Upstate startup ecosystem. This session will give us a chance to learn more about OpenWorks, hear a few ideas, and hone in on how N2P will continue to grow.
### What to Expect:
- Breakout Sessions – Continue conversations from last time or dive into something new.
- Idea Development Focus – If you have an idea, let’s talk about how to refine and move it forward.
- Meet Fellow Innovators – Connect with the OpenWorks community and learn from others navigating the startup space.
If you’ve got an idea, bring it. If you’re still searching for one, come listen, collaborate, and spark something new.
