Where entrepreneurs and future founders gather to learn, encourage one another, and build stronger businesses.

8:00-9:00 AM | Tuesday, August 18

Building a business can be exciting, rewarding, and challenging—but you don't have to do it alone. Ethos Founders Coffee exists to provide entrepreneurs with a supportive community. In this welcoming space, aspiring entrepreneurs with an idea, founders building businesses, and experienced mentors show up for one another and for what's next. Together, we connect people, encourage collaboration, and provide practical education that helps entrepreneurs build faster, lead stronger, and grow with confidence. Each month, hear the story of a successful founder from Southern Illinois, gain practical insights from their entrepreneurial journey, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the opportunities and challenges of building a business. Whether you're exploring a new idea, launching your first venture, or growing an established company, you'll find encouragement, wisdom, and meaningful relationships.

Join us in the Ethos Community Workspace (Fourth Floor Coffee Bar) at 8:00 AM on the third Tuesday of every month, beginning August 18, for coffee, networking, collaborative learning, and entrepreneurial support.

Interested in sponsoring a month of Founders Coffee? We'd love to partner with businesses and organizations that are passionate about supporting entrepreneurship in Southern Illinois. Contact terra@ethosmarion.org to learn more.
