Beer & Napkins Brewside Chat Ft, Joey Loman, Founder of SynergyMill

We’re thrilled to welcome the incredible Joe Loman, a true renaissance man, to our Brewside Chat. Joe’s unique vision and hands-on experience with Makers Spaces and fostering innovation ecosystems are not to be missed. He’ll share his insights on Napkins to Prototype, an approach that takes raw ideas from brainstorming sessions to tangible startups in the ecosystem.

As a key figure in the Greenville entrepreneurial scene, Joe has been pivotal in shaping our idea community. His work with TEDxGVL and his founding of SynergyMill, a creative haven for innovators, tinkerers, and budding entrepreneurs, have made him a local champion of collaborative spaces. Now, in partnership with Beer and Napkins, Joe is pushing boundaries, taking ideas from the “third places” (pubs, cafes, community spaces) and transforming them into prototypes. Through this Napkins to Prototype initiative, he’s lighting the path from casual conversation to startup creation.

Get ready to dive into Joe’s journey of building connections and empowering creativity across the Upstate! Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or simply curious, this is a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired.
