Business Connect is a part of Mid North’s mission to build a productive and entrepreneurial community. Business Connect is a collaborative organization of business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, and creatives who come together to learn and grow in their business ventures. Sponsored by Mid North, Business Connect organizes Quarterly Investor Meetups and runs a podcast (hosted by our very own Ben Lantz!). The Business Connect community is always looking to grow, and we’d love to see you at our next Meetup!

Our Investors Meetups are currently hosted at the Butcher’s Brewhuis in our hometown of Pella, Iowa! Each meetup features a key speaker or two; at past meetups, we’ve heard talks from loan officers, business owners, real estate brokers, and more. New and experienced real estate investors are welcome, along with real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in learning and growing in their business, freelance work, or self-directed career. Food is provided, and there is a cash bar. These meetups are a great opportunity to network with the local real estate community and other like-minded individuals.
Visit our Instagram page to find the date and time of the next meetup, and get more information!
