We welcome:
- students and recent grads looking to make connections,
- creatives needing help to market their skills,
- corporate employees looking to build their leadership skills,
- founders who need to improve their communication skills,
but most importantly,
-COOL AND INTERESTING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SHARE IDEAS, COLLABORATE, LEARN AND GROW TOGETHER!

Our focus is to help entrepreneurs start, grow, and expand successful businesses. We do this in a number of ways but the two main ways are:

ETC Coworking is a coworking / shared workspace for professionals, freelancers, remote workers, small business owners, solo-entrepreneurs, start-ups, and side-hustlers, with 24/7 access for most membership levels. We have high speed internet (1Gig coming in!), kitchen amenities, available conference room, podcast room and more. We also offer various virtual services such as a mailing address for your business (avoid using your home address for business purposes).

Small Business Study Hall (SBSH) is our in-person monthly series for small businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. Each month is a different topic and includes 30+ minutes of networking / meet and greet with like-minded entrepreneurs from Elgin and the northwest suburbs.
