HUSTLE New Orleans Entrepreneur Networking - Pro Active Networking Events
New Orleans: The Most Action-Oriented Networking for Ambitious Founders & Entrepreneurs
Your next co-founder. Your first investor. Your biggest client.
They could all be at this event.
If you're building a business — or ready to start one — HUSTLE New Orleans is where high-energy entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and create real opportunities. No fluff. No awkward small talk. Just meaningful connections that move the needle.
Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a side hustle, or raising your first round, this is your chance to meet mentors, investors, future team members, and fellow go-getters who can help you accelerate faster.
Why You Should Come:
- Meet founders, freelancers, and innovators who are doing the work — not just talking about it
- Share ideas, get feedback on your MVP, or find your next business partner
- Discover investor leads, pilot customers, or early adopters for your product
- Walk away with 3–5 valuable new connections (we make sure you actually talk to people)
Perfect For:
Startup founders | Aspiring entrepreneurs | Solopreneurs | Side-hustlers | Freelancers | Investors | Innovators
This is NOT your average “handshake and hope” networking event. We keep it fast-paced, inclusive, and founder-focused — with structured mingling to help you actually meet the right people.
It's FREE to attend — but space is limited and there is the expectation you buy a full priced drink at the bar.

About the venue
A bar rated 4.6 from around 870 reviews and in the lowest price band, open from 4pm to 1am Monday to Thursday. Reviewers highlight a covered patio that is well lit and comfortable, and a broad list of ciders, beers and bourbon at reasonable prices. Food is ordered through the neighbouring Sidecar venue rather than prepared in-house.
Getting there
The venue is on Constance Street in the Lower Garden District, walkable to the Warehouse District and the CBD. The St Charles streetcar line runs nearby and is the pleasant way to arrive from uptown or Canal Street. Street parking is available in the surrounding blocks, and the area is compact enough to combine with other venues on foot.
