You’re out there alone. No one to bounce ideas off. Software? You’re guessing what’s worth the cash. Clients and customers? Good luck finding them in a cornfield. It’s not your fault. Iowa’s not Silicon Valley. Resources are thin. Communities are scattered. But that doesn’t mean we have to continue letting it be this way.

EOI is built for Iowa entrepreneurs, creatives, freelancers, and owners who want to grow faster. You get tools, resources, and genuine connections that move your business forward—think of it like equipping a one-person army with the gear they need to win. (Not convinced yet? See member wins and value we’ve already delivered.)
We update the site before each event, but the best way to stay current is to subscribe to the weekly EOI newsletter. We run 12 monthly events across Iowa—digital networking hours, workshops (coming soon), and more—so you’ll always have something on the calendar as we continue to scale.
Early Access Members attend all digital and in-person events free as VIPs. Non-members generally cannot attend (exceptions for specific partnerships or invitations). This protects the integrity of the group, respects paying members, and keeps the room focused on those serious about growth.
You’re welcome here. We support owners, aspiring founders, creatives, freelancers, and company reps. Whether you’re exploring an idea or scaling, EOI helps you sharpen your plan and expand your network.
EOI delivers a stack of value: Events, Online Community, and member benefits found inside "THE VAULT." Your success is tied to ours—when you win, we win.
Yes. We rotate events across Iowa, and even if you miss a month you still get The Hive community, curated intros, spotlight opportunities, and member perks. Many members get enough value from connections and visibility alone.
