Community, Conversations, and Gatherings

Throughout the year, we host small events designed to bring entrepreneurs and business owners together for meaningful connections, thoughtful conversations, and shared growth.

This page is a central place to see what we are hosting, what is coming up next, and highlights from past gatherings within our community.

WinkedIn community gathering

Community in Practice

Over the past year our community has gathered regularly through WinkedIn lunches and small events across the Bay Area. These gatherings create space for entrepreneurs to step away from the day to day, connect, and build relationships that extend beyond a single event.

Interested in Joining Us?

If you are a woman entrepreneur or community leader in the Bay Area who values thoughtful conversation and genuine connection, we would love to welcome you to a future gathering.

WinkedIn lunches are intentionally small and designed to make it easy for everyone in the room to connect.

About WinkedIn

WinkedIn is a community-driven networking series created by Chabot Business Solutions that brings women entrepreneurs together for connection, conversation, and collaboration.

Each gathering is hosted at a different local venue by a rotating group of business leaders, allowing attendees to discover and support businesses within our community while building meaningful relationships.

WinkedIn is an independent community gathering and is not affiliated with LinkedIn.

Entrepreneur Networking Events in the East Bay

Chabot Business Solutions regularly hosts small networking gatherings and community events for entrepreneurs and business owners throughout the East Bay. Many of our WinkedIn lunches and community gatherings take place in San Leandro and nearby cities, including Oakland, Castro Valley, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

These events create space for local founders and small business owners to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful professional relationships.
