Last night at The Rose, gathered several entrepreneurs in our community and others from all corners of the country to meet and greet each other. Silicon Couloir (previously known as Table 14) hosts these “Chance Meetings” which are monthly gathering of the region’s entrepreneurs, sharing thoughts about their opportunities and challenges. Along with “2 Minute Drills,” a series of two minute talks about local entrepreneurial efforts. Silicon Couloir supports and connects dedicated entrepreneurs. Their events and resources strengthen the entrepreneurial community.

During the “2 Minute Drills” Trilipiderm, EveryArtist, JH Marketplace and Mountain Roots highlighted themselves and what challenges they have faces so far. It’s refreshing to hear new ideas emerging into new businesses in Jackson. It’s important as a business in Jackson Hole to maintain our connection to our community.

A friend of mine that came with me to the gathering (who happens to be a Jackson Hole native) told me that she wanted to join me because even though she’s from here, she doesn’t feel as if she’s connected with the community. She went away to college and came back to live here to make a life for herself. I personally find it incredibly rewarding to network with others in the area, it gives me a sense of belonging. I have been in Jackson now for nearly 2 years and I feel like I am exactly where I need to be. The people are so welcoming and supportive of one another, no wonder I feel so at home. I am not an entrepreneur but I am a supporter of Gliffen Designs (of course) and a supporter of all businesses in the Jackson Hole area. Our role is pretty prevalent to our clients and I take pride in helping better their brand and help their business succeed.
