Making Connections
The VilcaVerse
business Club
Our vision is to unite conscious community minded business owners and community focused program facilitators to help each other build and grow their businesses and programs through cooperation, friendship, skill-sharing and collaboration. We also aim to streamline community offerings, minimize business and service redundancy, and to improve awareness of existing businesses and program offerings while also supporting the launching of new startups.
We envision a thriving financially resilient Vilcabamba where collaboration replaces competition. A community of sovereign individuals whose shared efforts attract quality people and resources, strengthen local enterprise, and make this valley a model for what conscious grassroots community-building can achieve.
what we are about
The Meetings
The VilcaVerse Business Club is a weekly community focused networking and business development meeting and social event. It is hosted at the Vilcabamba business center and attendance is by invitation only extended to eligible local business owners or program facilitators by an existing business club member. It gives members the opportunity to informally socialize and mingle but also offers some organized, structured time for each member to have an opportunity to speak a little bit about their business, the products or services they offer and the type of clients/customers they are looking for. This educates the other members of the group about what each member can offer the community and keeps their team members' products or services on the top of their mind for when they come across anybody in their daily interactions who require these products or services and are looking for a referral from a trusted source. The meeting is also used to brainstorm ideas to help each other build more successful businesses or programs by improving business practices, marketing strategies, use of technology etc. It is designed to be a positive, solution focused, forward thinking environment and not a complaint session.
