Have a problem? Does it involve staffing, supply chain, marketing, or something else? Let's try and find a solution for that! We are going to crowd source solutions for businesses in and around Roslindale.

We will do our best to prepare known resources that may be helpful, and Emily Patrick, Senior Neighborhood Business Manager in the City of Boston's Office of Small Business, will be present to connect you with technical assistance or other resources. Plus, we will spend some time brainstorming with each other and hearing from other business owners who may have faced similar challenges and have some suggestions!

Submit a problem and information below, and join us to meet fellow business owners and problem solve together!

Questions? Contact us at manager@roslindale.net.

We’ll walk through practical strategies to help you:

• Understand what product-market fit actually means
• Validate if your idea solves a real, urgent problem
• Talk to potential customers - and ask the right questions
• Avoid common mistakes that sink early-stage startups

You’ll leave with a clearer roadmap for testing your idea, gathering feedback, and making confident decisions about moving forward.

This session is part of Startup Boston and the City of Boston’s ongoing programming to support first-time founders and early-stage entrepreneurs. Perfect for anyone considering launching a startup or currently validating an early idea.

• ​If you do have a startup idea and are currently looking for a partner-in-crime to help you start or grow a startup- this event is for you!
• ​If you do not have a startup idea but are looking to join someone at the ground floor- this event is for you!

Cofounder Matching is invite-only to ensure a high-quality event filled with motivated attendees ready to start or join a startup.

While there’s no exact formula for building the perfect founding team or startup, we hope this mixer brings you one step closer.

Hosted by Startup Boston and the City of Boston, this event is the ideal chance to make those essential connections
