A new way for women founders and creatives to connect — locally, meaningfully, and without the fluff.
big ideas. small circles.
We all know how lonely it can feel to build something on your own — whether it’s a business, a creative vision, or a new chapter of your life. LOCL Loop™ was born from that feeling and a belief that the best conversations, and collaborations, start close to home.
It’s for the women who crave connection that feels real, not forced. The kind that happens over coffee, between ideas, and in the places where we already live and work.
When you join LOCL Loop™, you’ll be paired each month with two other women entrepreneurs or creatives in your area to meet in person at a local spot of your choosing — maybe a cozy café, a favorite shop, or a nearby studio. You’ll share stories, swap ideas, and talk honestly about the highs, lows, and in-between moments that come with building something on your own — all in a small, supportive group that feels more like friendship than formal networking.
It’s a new way to build momentum and grow your community. Connection, simplified, one local meetup at a time, all while supporting the places and people that make your community thrive.
If you’re ready to find your people and get in the loop, you’re in the right place.

No pressure, rules or scripts here — just easy conversation and real support. Because when we show up for each other and for our communities, that’s when the loop comes to life!
