PJ's Coffee

We have gotten too comfortable building our businesses from behind a screen.
Sending DMs. Waiting for responses. Choosing the couch over connection.
But your next collaboration is not on your couch.
Connect Over Coffee is an intimate guided networking experience for entrepreneurs and creatives in the DMV who are ready to stop scrolling and start connecting in person — with real people who actually want to collaborate.

No pitching. No forced conversations. No leaving with a stack of cards and zero follow through.
Whether you are an introvert who has been avoiding networking events because they feel overwhelming — or an extrovert who keeps leaving them feeling like nothing real happened — this was built for you.
Small intentional groups. Real conversations. Real collaborations. A space where everyone gets seen.
Your $10 ticket includes a $5 PJ’s Coffee gift card.
