Ramstad, the founder of Weave Got Maille, a company that sells chain maille-related products, was feeling burned out and was close to shutting down her company.
On a whim, she attended one of the weekly gatherings of 1 Million Cups Fargo, an event established five years ago that aims to support and encourage local entrepreneurs.
In Ramstad’s case, 1 Million Cups lived up to its mission. Instead of closing her business, Ramstad was so fired up by the energy she found at 1 Million Cups that she went home and hired two more employees.
