Venture Networkers is a group of business professionals who work together to support one another’s business pursuits.
To that end, we meet weekly (Tuesdays 7:45am - 8:55am) to stay connected, educate one another about our businesses, and share referrals and marketing ideas. We welcome new members who want to use referrals to build their business. Our regular meeting place is the Red Wing Ignite Building located at 419 Bush Street; however, we sometimes meet outdoors, at member businesses, and also via Zoom. Please contact us if you would like to attend one of our meetings!

Venture Networkers is Relationship Building
Venture Networkers is a Red Wing-based group of business professionals launched
in June, 2016. We seek to learn about one another's businesses so we can provide
outstanding referrals to each other. We believe that relationship building
Know Me, Like Me, Trust Me
is at the core of networking.

Our Tuesday Meetings
Venture Networker's weekly meetings start at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday with fifteen minutes of open networking.
We start our meetings with an opening quote and then each member speaks for one minute giving their commercial/star moment. These commercials help other members learn about each business to be able to provide more business and referrals. Then, for a few minutes we discuss our schedule, reports, and awards. Next we have a 10-15 minute speaker which is typically a Venture Networker member presenting facets of their business or industry products and services. We finish our meetings with each member having the opportunity to provide referrals or testimonials they have for other members. The meeting adjourns by 8:55am.
Our primary goal at Venture Networkers is to support each other's business.
To facilitate this we track our progress with weekly meetings attendance, face-to-face meetings, inviting guests, passing referrals, and most importantly tracking how many dollars of business has been passed.
Even with the pandemic, we’ve had strong years with great zoom and in-person attendance plus over #171 Face to Face meetings and $50,000+ passed as a result of referrals from past and present members.
In November in the Ignite Community Room, Venture Networkers hosted the 1st Annual Red Wing Non-Profit Expo which was enjoyed and enriching to the 22 non-profits attending.
