To combine the strategic focus of the Boardroom
with the authentic connection of the Barstool.
What This Is
The Boardroom & Barstool Network is a private, members-only network for business owners in Upstate South Carolina. Every month we meet at a local restaurant or bar — full buyout, no public access. Dinner/Drinks and a curated room of people who are actually running something.
No agenda. No pitch deck. No name tags. Just business owners around a table.
Each month features a short program — a fellow member or invited guest sharing something worth knowing. No pitch. No slides. Just a story from the room or a perspective worth hearing.
Events are fully bought out. No public access on event nights. The room is yours.
Membership is by application only. The room stays intentionally small.
Dinner and drinks covered by your membership. Show up, connect, nothing to pay at the door.
How It Works
Short application. We review and respond within 48 hours. Referrals from current members carry weight.
Once approved, you'll receive a welcome email with access to the private member directory and everything you need for your first event.
Once a month. Doors open at 5:00 PM. Dinner at 7:00 PM. Business casual. No name tags — come ready to introduce yourself.
Relationships made over dinner last longer than those made across a conference table. That's the whole idea.
Membership
One seat at every monthly event. Full dinner and open bar included. Access to the private member directory. One guest pass per year.
Membership is month-to-month. No annual contracts. Cancel anytime.
Once a Year
Once a year, we open the doors a little wider. The Annual Mixer is a larger, open-format evening where members bring guests — business owners who are curious about the network, not yet in it. It's the one night prospective members get a taste of the room before applying. Invitation through a current member only.
"We know life is busy and family comes first — that's exactly why our events are adults-only. Think of it as your one night a month to be just a business owner."
Apply
Membership is by application. We keep the network intentionally small — every seat at the table matters. If someone referred you, mention their name. If you found your way here on your own, tell us about your business.
Word-of-mouth only. No social media. If you know a business owner who belongs in this room, send them here.
We'll be in touch within 48 hours. In the meantime — if you know someone who belongs in the room, send them here.
