Entrepreneurs, innovators, funders, and other interested community members are invited to the free monthly gathering organized by the chamber’s Economic Development department.

Guests can learn more about MyReservs, an event planning platform and Viva Kandle Bar, the Rio Grande Valley’s first custom candle bar with over 100 scents.

Each founder presents for six minutes, followed by a 20-minute question-and-answer session with the audience.
