Help Organize 1 Million Cups Philadelphia!

We are currently seeking volunteers to join the 1MC Philadelphia Organizing Committee!

About 1 Million Cups: Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. 1 Million Cups has since grown to more than 180 communities, including our very own 1MC Philadelphia.

On Wednesday mornings around the U.S., 1 Million Cups (1MC) events give two rising entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their businesses and receive live audience feedback. Check out the companies who have presented so far!

As a grassroots program, led by a community of volunteer organizers interested in educating entrepreneurs, it should come as no surprise that great organizers are the heart and soul of great 1MC communities. We are currently seeking volunteers to join the 1MC Philadelphia Organizing Committee…
