Advice on starting a BP meetup

[Ken Konecny]

I am looking into starting a BP meetup in my local market. I'm looking for advice from other members that have experience starting and operating a group. What are some of the challenges you faced starting the group? What tools do you use to market and operate the group? What is your content strategy for the group. Looking back on your experience what would you have done differently? Any other advice or insights are much appreciated.

Hi @Ken Konecny. I help organize an event here in Cincinnati that was put together by my (now) boss. We use BP, eventbrite, meetup.com, as well as having a website for the meetup. We usually have a presenter in the beginning (10-15 minutes) then each person gets a couple minutes to discuss where they are as investors, what their goals were since the last meeting, if they accomplished those goals, and any asks that they have for the group. This is definitely a little different from a typical RE meetup, but our attendees seem to like the accountability that comes along with making a commitment in front of others. Hope this helps!
