Free Virtual Business Networking & Live Marketplace for Entrepreneurs
Free virtual business networking and live marketplace for entrepreneurs. Meet experts, find growth tools, and help San Diego kids.
🌎 THE BILLION DOLLAR IMPACT PARTY FOR BUSINESS
WHAT COULD MAKE YOUR BUSINESS BETTER IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS?
What happens when you put entrepreneurs, leaders and world-class experts in one room?
Founders. Business owners. TEDx speakers. Best-selling authors. Marketing pros. Video storytellers. Changemakers.
Now imagine that room is LIVE + VIRTUAL, and you can join from anywhere in the world.
And you’re not just watching.
You’re in the room WITH them.
Meet people outside your usual circles.
Find tools, ideas and experts you didn’t know to look for.
Discover offers for your business, your team, your clients and yourself you won’t find anywhere else.
And they get to meet YOU.
Your next client.
Your next partner.
Your next mentor.
Your next friend.
Your next opportunity.
One introduction can change everything.
But this is more than networking.
It’s a live marketplace. An expert shows what they bring. Then it drops, live. If it’s right for you, you can buy it right there. Nothing is sold ahead of time. And it isn’t recorded, so the room is the only place to catch it.
You meet the human behind every offer. This is not a faceless checkout.
And while you grow your business, you help a family in San Diego get food on the table. A portion of every purchase supports It’s All About the Kids®. For 22 years, they have helped local families with kids find food, help and hope.
✨ Proximity creates possibility.
❤️ Generosity creates opportunity.
WHO’S IN THE ROOM
Your hosts
Stacey Lauren. Founder of Do The Thing and Billion Dollar Impact. TEDx speaker. She spent 20 years building a company to $35 million a year.

THE CAUSE
In April, Angela launched FOOD HELP NOW SD. It’s a free guide for all of San Diego County. It puts every food and family resource in one place:
- Emergency food for families with kids
- Help signing up for CalFresh
- Healthy recipes and nutrition tips
- Home gardening
- GED and job training
- Ways to save on groceries
You grow your business. A family gets through a hard month. That’s the room.
REAL WINS FROM PAST PARTIES
- One buyer bid on a speaking spot. It led to the Oscars and the Emmys.
- One buyer raised her paddle once. She got a Times Square billboard and new clients.
- One buyer came looking for a keynote speaker. They booked an Olympic gold medalist, right in the room.
Since October 2025, these two-hour parties have raised more than $500,000.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY TO COME
The event is free. Plenty of people come for the room. If nothing is right for you, you still spent two hours with great people.
