Small Businesses are a clear driver of our economy. They comprise 99.7% of all businesses in the U.S. and generate almost 70% of all new jobs.

Over the past two decades, American Express has recognized the power in these numbers by dedicating an exclusive team, called OPEN, to serve small businesses - not only with valuable payment products, but also with tools to help them grow their businesses.

The Orange County Entrepreneur Community has been chosen by American Express OPEN and Meetup to be one of only 30 goups across the country to participate in a pilot program for entrepreneurs. We are honored to be a part of this amazing group of people who organize entrepreneur groups and help connect people to people.

The OCEC was also recently recognized as a case study for the American Express/Meetup program at the Warrillow Summit in Las Vegas. Warrillow is an authority on marketing to the SMB market and most major national brands were there to learn how to reach small business owners more effectively. See pictures from the event below.

We look forward to woreking with American Express and Meetup to coontinue to support small business owners and expose them to new and better ways to run their business.

Please join us at our next networking event or contact us to become a sponsor of the OCEC.
