The Miami Open Coffee Club (MOCC) is a collaboration between FIU’s Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center and MapYourStartup.co. In the past, the meetup has typically held “speed-mentoring” events, which partners with mentors for short periods (around 30 minutes). Starting on October 30, however, MOCC is introducing a a new meetup style, which will include “fireside chats,” bringing in well-known local entrepreneurs and subject matter experts to provide immediate advice in front of a live-studio audience. This interactive discussion style can serve as an example of what a meeting with a mentor, coach, prospective board member, and even prospective might look like.

The meetups are held at the FIU Downtown on Brickwell, located at 1101 Brickwell Avenue, 10th floor. They will start at 7:30am. As mentioned before, the first meetup with the new format will be held on Thursday, October 30, and will feature Xavier Cossard from Plarity and Charles Irizarry from Rokk3r Labs. The second meetup will take place on November 20.

The goal of this new, collaborative format is to benefit the entrepreneurial community at large.
