The Hill@Work

Small bets for a stronger downtown.

The Hill@Work is Strong Richmond Hill’s monthly professional networking event for local entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Maybe you’d test a new product with paying customers before signing a lease. Maybe you already run a shop and want to give people a reason to come in on a slow afternoon. Or maybe there’s a business idea you’ve been carrying around for years, and you’re ready to see if it has legs.

Bring it to Hill@Work, a monthly working session from Strong Richmond Hill for people starting or growing a small business.

We’ll take a real idea from someone in the room and work through it together. Who would buy it? Where could you try it? What would it cost to find out? A home-based tailor might team up with a downtown shop to offer eight Saturday repair appointments. A shop owner might find someone to share space with for a weekend pop-up.

Bring one idea, one problem, or one thing you can offer. You could leave with a practical test, a lead on a space, or a local business owner who wants to try something with you.

As we hear where entrepreneurs get stuck, we’ll bring specific examples and requests to the City so it can make it easier to try a business downtown.
