Networking Should Feel Like a Conversation, not a chore

We know the feeling. You show up to a networking event, go through the motions, swap a few business cards, and leave wondering if anything real came from it. We’ve been there too.

After years in brand building, CX, and experiential marketing, we saw firsthand how transactional networking had become. Events felt forced, conversations felt surface-level, and the magic of real connection was missing. So, we built what we wished existed—Midcoast.

Midcoast is where brand builders, operators, and creatives come together in thoughtfully designed spaces that go beyond networking. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a curated brand experience, or a community-driven gathering, we create moments that foster real relationships, not just LinkedIn connections.


So we created Midcoast

We’ve been to the events that felt like checkboxes. 

a space where real conversations, meaningful connections, and unexpected collaborations actually happen.

I once helped plan a surprise golden ticket giveaway where unsuspecting customers opened their Feastables bars to find life-changing prizes. Nothing beats the magic of turning an ordinary moment into an unforgettable experience—exactly what we do at Midcoast.

I have moved over 16+ times in my life and have lived all over the world thanks to my previous life in fashion. I love nothing more than meeting new people and I'm thankful Midcoast allows me to do just that! (Also a passionate sourdough bread maker and natural wine drinker)

We didn’t start Midcoast because we love throwing events—we started it because we saw a massive gap in the way people in our industry connect. Traditional networking felt repetitive, exclusive, and uninspired. It was all handshakes and small talk, but nothing that actually moved the needle.

Between us, we’ve built brands, launched products, scaled communities, and led customer experience at some of the biggest names in consumer businesses. We’ve been in the rooms where things should have happened but didn’t. We know how hard it is to find genuine, like-minded people to grow with when most events feel like a numbers game.

That’s why we created Midcoast—to build the kind of immersive, thoughtfully curated experiences that actually help founders, operators, and marketers connect in a way that makes an impact.

Whether it’s over a shared meal, an intimate gathering, or a brand-driven moment, we design experiences where conversations spark collaborations, ideas turn into action, and relationships are built to last.

Midcoast Started as a Solution to a Problem We Knew All Too Well

We were tired of networking that felt transactional. So we built something different—curated experiences designed to foster real connections, meaningful conversations, and collaborations that last.
