Startup Social: How to Get Paid
Spark Coworking
You’re invited to join us for our next Startup Social.
We’re focusing on something every founder eventually faces: how to turn what you’re building into revenue.
We’re gathering a small group of founders to share how they approached it early on. The format is conversational but structured, with a mix of short prompts, shared experiences, and open discussion.
*Founder Conversation*
A moderated discussion with founders sharing how they found their first customers, when they started charging, and what helped things click.
Short questions like:
- How would you make your first $1K today?
- What worked to get your first paying customer?
- What you would do differently now?
*Open Feedback Moments*
We’ll invite a few attendees to share what they’re working on and get perspective from the room.
*Student Founder Spotlight*
We’ll recognize the Spark Impact Award winners from the Maryland Student Venture Competition, in partnership with Upsurge Baltimore, and hear briefly about what they’re building.
*After the conversation*
We’ll transition into a relaxed happy hour. Time to meet people, continue conversations, and connect with others in the community.
*Bonus*
Everyone who attends will receive a complimentary day pass to cowork at Spark at a future date.
*Who this is for*
Founders working toward their first or next stage of revenue
People building something new and figuring out what comes next
Anyone who values honest conversations and being in the right room
Startup Social is about showing up, sharing openly, and learning from each other.
