Two of the most difficult challenges of entrepreneurship is loneliness and lack of mentorship.
When working long days trying to grow their new company, many young business owners struggle to find like-minded people with who they can associate.
This is especially the case when working from home. Fortunately, there are some entrepreneurial groups in the San Diego community that provide support for new business owners.
San Diego Young Entrepreneur Network Meetup Group
The Young Entrepreneur Network Meetup Group is one of the best in the San Diego community. It is ideal for those who are looking to stay up-to-date with the latest technology available to business owners.
The group meets weekly. At each meeting, guest speakers will talk about technological techniques that have proven effective for their companies.
San Diego Entrepreneurs Exchange
If you’re a new business owner struggling to find your place in the San Diego community, you’re want to check out this group. Local, established entrepreneurs run this nonprofit organization with the goal of providing support and encouragement for new entrepreneurs.
The group offers educational opportunities for an array of industries, including:
- Pharma

San Diego Entrepreneur Meetup Group
The San Diego Entrepreneur Meetup Group believes that the world is headed away from industrialism, instead moving toward a “connection economy.”
The group, inspired by Seth Godin, believes that human connections are the most valuable aspect of a business. The group hosts a couple of events each month, including many “Mix & Mingles.”
Downtown Works
Instead of working from home, entrepreneurs can elect a flexible, affordable coworking space. It provides business owners with a sense of community since many young, like-minded people also choose a coworking space.
Kowrk recently named Downtown Works the “2018 Koolest Kospace” in San Diego. At Downtown Works you can be part of a coworking community that shares resources, collaborates together, and gives wider access to a variety of skill sets.
