Leading a company can be lonely. It doesn't have to be.
The advisors you can't hire are sitting at this table.
Running a company means making calls nobody else in the building can weigh in on. Starting in January 2027, Minnesota Business Mentors in partnership with the Economic Development Teams of Anoka and Sherburne Counties is launching a CEO Roundtable built for exactly that problem.
Once a month, up to 12 owners and CEOs from non-competing companies sit down for three hours and work through what's actually on their desks: growth plans, hiring decisions, succession, pricing, the call they've been putting off because there's no one to make it with.
Not networking. Not a mastermind fluff session.
This is a confidential, peer-to-peer advisory group. No pitching - just candid input from other CEOs who've been where you are, facilitated to keep the conversation sharp and moving.
What makes it work
Confidential by design
What's said at the table stays at the table, so members bring real problems, not polished ones.
Non-competing peers
You're in the room with people who understand your pressures, not your competitors.
Trained facilitation
An experienced MBM facilitator keeps every session focused and productive, never a gripe session.
Local, not generic
Built for Anoka and Sherburne County leaders, with your county's economic development team.
Founders, CEOs, presidents, and owners who are already running something real and need a sounding board that matches. This isn't an entry-level networking group. To join, you must:
-
Must be the founder, CEO, president or owner.
-
Must be a for-profit business.
-
Business must be located in Anoka or Sherburne County.
-
Annual revenue of $1 million or more.
-
At least 10 full-time employees.
-
Agree to attend 10, 3-hour meetings a year (off in December and August).
