Any Charlotte area networking events/groups that DON'T involve awkward small talk and lukewarm wine? 😅 I'm new here and looking to make genuine connections, not just collect business cards. Hit me with your recs!

Alive After Five is a quantum state.
It is both networking (junior sales people desperately trying to meet numbers & recruiters trying to convince you to leave a stable W2 to take the shortest worst contract role imaginable) and dating (see junior sales people trying to get laid and the recruiter open to it on the 3rd drink / after 7pm).

Be clear in your purpose. For networking, arrive early, move through connections quickly, leave before 6pm. For anything else, arrive after 6pm, and good luck.

I was recommended “PitchBreakfast” which is a practice/feedback session for founders about to pitch to private investors (e.g. a less “dramatic” Shark Tank). There’s coffee before and after and the range of backgrounds is pretty good. It’s monthly - just google it - no charge to attend.

I'm getting my brother autographed Panthers memorabilia for christmas, but I'm the gay son in the family who knows nothing about football... So we've got someone named D.J. Moore, another named Terrance Marshall Jr., Luke Kuechly, and Robbie Anderson. None of these names are doing anything for me, nor do any of the stats mean anything to me when I look up their names on Google. Do any of these names ring a bell to you, and which ones would be the coolest for a signed helmet/jersey?
