This statewide coalition of minority entrepreneurs calls themselves “a digital mastermind group” and leaders say the shift to online meetings has deepened and strengthened their bonds and their businesses.
“We’ve connected all online,” said Ted Hsu, an Opus board member and organizer. “That’s proliferated to external events matching our individual customers with the broader membership.”
At Opus’ virtual weekly meetings, members share their capabilities and challenges, then seek help and networking support from fellow business owners. The virtual format allows for focused attention on each business and saves members time and energy once spent on getting to in-person events.
