How has your membership in the CURE impacted your business?
A co-working space has given me the entrepreneurial freedom to grow my business by providing a flexible, professional environment without the burden of traditional office costs. The collaborative atmosphere, access to shared resources, and separation from home-based distractions have allowed me to stay focused, productive, and motivated. As a result, I’ve been able to develop my business more confidently, build meaningful connections, and stay agile as my goals evolve.

Membership Appreciation Week events

Monday and Tuesday Dec. 1 & 2nd

Entrepreneur
Excellence Days

We kick off Member Appreciation Week by spotlighting the heartbeat of CURE—our entrepreneurs. Across our website and social media, we’ll feature powerful stories of members who turned their visions into real-world impact.

These stories reflect the hustle, the creativity, and the fight it takes to build something meaningful. And they remind us all of what’s possible when community meets opportunity.

Wednesday, Dec. 3rd

Community
Partners Day

The truth is, entrepreneurship doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives on partnership.

This day recognizes the organizations, institutions, and collaborators who help amplify the work of our founders. Their belief in our mission strengthens the infrastructure that supports our members’ success.

Thursday, Dec. 4th

Sponsor
Recognition Day

Our sponsors make it possible for CURE to serve, elevate, and resource this community. On this day, we publicly honor the partners who understand that investing in entrepreneurs—especially entrepreneurs of color—is not charity… it’s strategy.

We’ll highlight each sponsor across our digital platforms in appreciation of their ongoing commitment.

Culminating Event:
First Friday & CURE 1-Year Anniversary Celebration

Friday, December 5 • 5:30–7:30 PM
CURE Division Street

This is the moment it all leads to.

On Friday evening, we gather for a special edition of First Friday, our signature networking and art exhibition experience, paired with the celebration of CURE’s first anniversary.

Expect:

  • A room full of innovators, partners, and supporters

  • Entrepreneur impact awards

  • Sponsor recognition

  • Reflection on our first year and a look at what’s ahead

  • Art, culture, conversation, and connection

It’s not just an event. It’s a declaration of where we’re headed, and who we’re building with.

Join Us. Celebrate With Us. Grow With Us.
