What we’re about

Best place to be part of a community or Entrepreneurs, Investors, Inventors, Celebrities, Startups, Founders and CEOs. Eliances hosts a weekly ROUNDtable which changes each week of those who attend and is full every week. Eliances Community is the only place 'Where Entrepreneurs Align'
You have your business cards in hand and a smile on your face. You look nice, ready to share your business needs with a room full of successful entrepreneurs.
The meeting is called to order and you're asked to put your business cards away. You frown and turn to the person who invited you, “I thought this was a networking group?!” He smiles, “No, it's not. This is the Eliances community, the only place "Where Entrepreneurs Align.” Confused, you put your cards in your bag, wondering what exactly is in store for the rest of the morning.
Eliances is not a networking group; period. As the community director states, “If you're here hoping to ‘machine gun' your cards all over the room, you're in the wrong place. If you're interested in giving what you got and making real relationships, Eliances is for you.” As each entrepreneur goes around the room, sharing the “Got, Give, Get” of their business, connections begin to form and lives are changed.
“I am truly impressed with the open environment you and your team have created at Eliances. From one meeting I have already identified 2-3 potential partnership opportunities, as well as made some great connections for building relationships in the future" - expressed Kneko Burney who has been a featured guest on CNBC's the Closing Bell.
Eliances the only place "Where Entrepreneurs Align". At the weekly ROUNDtable (which changes every week of those who attend), the best minds in the entrepreneur world bring their expertise and rolodex to align with individuals with something amazing to give. Connections are made and business gets done every week as a result of these meetings. Networking groups don't do that.
“I'm so proud of everything that you guys are doing to make a difference in people's lives” states another Eliancer.
Periodically, the GRANDtable brings together a large group of passionate entrepreneurs, looking for their next business partner. Projects get funded, introductions are made and partnerships are fostered because of the long lasting connections created in the room. Again, networking groups don't do that. Celebrities attend and people fly in from all other.
As the weekly invitations go out, the room fills to capacity with people wanting to share what they have. Whether you have decades of experience or you're just starting out, Eliances has something for you. Before you check your inbox for the Eliances private invitation, remember the ‘machine gun' approach discussed earlier. Eliances is for the Givers, not for the Getters. If you're interested in plastering your cards around the room, attend a networking group. If you have something to give and want to make relationships, Eliances is where you need to align.
Here are what others say:
I've attended numerous networking events and belonged to many organizations in my career but quickly learned that Eliances offered much more. There was so much brainpower and talent in the room from such varied business backgrounds. I made several contacts and already have meetings on my calendar after attending just one Eliances ROUNDtable. I'm looking forward to developing many successful business relationships and friendships as a member of Eliances. -

Eliances is an impressive group.

Eliances defined by me: Incredible business leaders from many different industries, Positive happy people willing to help, Interesting backgrounds, Fun and supportive environment to create connections that improve business or spark new ones. High energy moderator conducting a fast paced meeting. After one Eliances meeting, I: Set up a meeting to discuss board positions, Set up a meeting to meet a business owner to discuss financial advisory services, Learned about a business program for my teenage kid and discussed helping a charity raise money. I'd say that was a pretty decent 2 hours.
