Connections
No Entrepreneur Wins Alone.
At a certain level, the hardest part of business isn't finding more information. It's finding the right people to talk to.
Because the bigger the company gets, the fewer people you can really talk to about it. It’s lonely - it's painful.
And you need…
People who've faced the decisions you're facing. People who will tell you what they really think. People who can say
“I've been there. Here's what I'd do.”
Your first event is complimentary. Attendance is subject to qualification.
Your Personal Board of Advisors.
Imagine having a room of accomplished entrepreneurs you actually trust

What Happens When
You Get in the Right Room
See What Speakeasy Is Like for Yourself
You’ve heard from our members. Now experience the room firsthand. If you’re a qualified entrepreneur, we’d love to invite you to an upcoming Ottawa event to meet the members, join the conversation, and see if Speakeasy feels like the right fit for you (and vice-versa).
No Speakers. No Pitches.
No Awkward Networking.
Once a month, your Ottawa chapter gets together for three hours.
Dinner. Drinks. Real conversation.
Members talk openly about what's working, what's not, the decisions they're wrestling with, and the opportunities they're pursuing.
Then the room gets involved.
Ideas are challenged.
Playbooks are shared.
Introductions are made.
Problems get solved.
Real business gets done here.
Local Relationships. Global Access.
Your Ottawa chapter becomes your trusted inner circle.
But your membership reaches far beyond one room.
Your Monthly Mastermind
Meet monthly with 15-30 established entrepreneurs in your city, to solve real challenges, share what’s working, uncover opportunities, and make better decisions faster.
A Global Community App
Our community app connects you with hundreds of Speakeasy members to ask questions, share wins, find resources, collaborate, and build valuable relationships.
Visit Other Chapters
Your membership travels with you. Visit Speakeasy chapters in other cities, join their meetings, and walk into a trusted community wherever business or travel takes you.
The Online "Insider Sessions"
Exclusive online training sessions led by experts from within the Speakeasy community - sharing the strategies, tools, and ideas working right now in AI, marketing, leadership, sales, branding, growth, and more.
Notes From Every Chapter
The best ideas from every monthly meeting are captured and available to you via our AI engine - giving you access to the strongest strategies, resources, insights, and breakthroughs emerging from every room.

Is This Your Kind of Room?
Speakeasy is intentionally curated.
You'll probably feel at home here if...
You've built something real
Members have 6, 7, and 8 figure businesses and want to grow to the next level. Most members own established businesses generating $1M+ annually, or earn $250K+ per year as a solopreneur, or have recently built or exited a significant company.
You're still hungry.
You're successful - but you're nowhere near finished. And you’re still in the trenches.
You want relationships, not transactions.
You're looking for trusted peers and not prospects to pitch.
You want honest feedback.
You'd rather hear the truth than have people agree with you.
You show up.
The real value comes from building relationships month after month.
