1 Million Cups – Columbia Entrepreneurs Mastermind
2025-06-11 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | USC/Columbia Technology Incubator (4th Floor), 1225 Laurel St, Columbia, SC, 29201, United States
Weekly mastermind of local business owners and entrepreneurs for education and networking. This is a mastermind with business owners in many different fields from the technology fields to the health and wellness specialties. The basic format involves business owners presenting what they do then drawing upon the collective knowledge and experience of the other entrepreneurs in attendance to help advance their own businesses.
Periodically, successful entrepreneurs, who’s businesses exceed $1 million in total revenue, will present and tell us how they achieved their successes during a “Made It” session. One I remember was a co-founder of MapQuest who ended up selling MapQuest to AOL for $1.2 billion.
These weekly meetings include education sessions in which an experienced businessperson teaches attendees how to follow what they’re doing in their businesses for our own purposes. They educate us on their specific industries.
Coffee is provided in a casual environment. Be sure to bring plenty of business cards to pass out. You never know when and where your next big business deal will occur.

Midlands REIA Monthly Meeting
2025-06-11 18:30 - 20:30 | Lexington Town Hall (Elias Mack Room downstairs), 111 Maiden Lane, Lexington, SC, 29072, United States
Wholesaling real estate is a short-term investment strategy that involves securing the rights to purchase a property and then assigning that contract or fipping it quickly to another buyer—typically an investor. The wholesaler acts as a middleman, connecting motivated sellers with cash buyers, and earns a profit through an “assignment fee” or a “double closing”.
This method is often considered a low-capital entry point into the real estate investing world, requiring little-to-no money from the wholesaler and no ownership, or very brief ownership, of the property.
This meeting will cover the basics of wholesaling real estate and how to use it to make money without using your own money.
