What we’re about
Milwaukee Business Professionals Meetup is a place for small business owners and other entrepreneurial-minded individuals in and around Milwaukee, WI. Join us if you're looking for opportunities to connect with like-minded business professionals, collaborate, and grow together. We foster a supportive environment where knowledge-sharing and networking thrive.
We host networking events, business workshops, and social gatherings designed to help professionals like you grow, connect, and succeed. Whether you’re looking to meet potential partners, discover new business strategies, or share your expertise, this group offers a space for meaningful interactions.
Have an idea for a business-related event or topic you'd like us to explore? We’d love to hear it! This group thrives on collaboration, and the best suggestions often come from members like YOU. Feel free to message me through Meetup with your ideas or feedback to help shape future events.
As the organizer of this group, I’m also a private equity investor actively seeking businesses that may be looking to sell—whether due to aging out, illness, or other transitions. If you know of any businesses in the Milwaukee area that fit this description, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect!

As you know for the last couple of years, the members of Cigar Networkers of Milwaukee & Hopportunity Networking have gotten together to network.Once a month, on a slow night, or a night these locations are closed, the Cigar Networkers of Milwaukee & Hopportunity Networking members, their friends, family, & or associates are going to coordinate with a locally owned business for us to show up, one night & make their cash registers ring.
These will all be local bars, restaurants, breweries, & or cigar lounges.
No national chains - NO EXCEPTIONS.We need to help those fellow business owners who were brave enough, smart enough, & or clever enough to beat this disastrous shutdown & insane mandates over the last couple of years.
For January, we are going back to Wizard Works in the Historic Third Ward.
In addition to being the only magician-owned brewery in the United States, Wizard Works offers a fun, welcoming atmosphere created by people who understand that enjoying your time out is more than having craft beer in your hand. It's a wonderful combination of the people you meet & speak with, the atmosphere & customer service you receive, & the quality of the brew you are sharing with friends old and new.https://wizardworksbrewing.com/
This will be a YES or NO event since we want to give these local businesses a definitive number of attendees so they can staff accordingly.
