One Million Cups

1 Million Cups is a free, national program designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs. Developed by the Kauffman Foundation, 1MC is based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. Entrepreneurs present their startup companies to their communities and learn how their community can help support their business to flourish. One or two early-stage startups present their companies to a diverse audience of their peers, mentors, educators, and advisors. Each founder presents for six minutes, followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience. The College hosts three One Million Cups programs across the state of Delaware. The network meetings are held monthly on a first, second or third Wednesday morning of the month, depending on the campus. Dover meets the first Wednesday of the month, Wilmington meets the second Wednesday of the month and Georgetown meets the third Wednesday of the month.

Entrepreneurs can also apply to present at one of the programs.
