Conversation-First Networking for Women Entrepreneurs

Text that reads '+ low-pressure connection' in pink cursive font

Maybe you’ve tried traditional networking events before and left feeling drained, awkward, or like you didn’t really connect.

You’re ready for a different kind of networking experience — one that feels low-pressure and built around real conversation.

At BizBestie Walk, we offer networking experiences for women across New Jersey, including Cafe Walks, Coffee Collabs, and our signature Networking Walks designed to help you meet new BizBesties in a way that feels genuine.

Meet Sharon Calle

Hi, I’m Sharon, a 3x founder, small business owner, and extroverted introvert.

I launched BizBestie Walk in May 2025 to create networking meetups that feel welcoming, not overwhelming.

I’m the founder of Luminosa Creative, where I help small business owners launch websites that get found in Google and AI searches.

My first business was a family art studio (2016–2024), and I’ve always been a creative. I live in Northern NJ with my husband, and we love hiking, the Jersey Shore, and foodie adventures.

  • Portrait of a woman with long brown hair wearing red glasses, a white turtleneck sweater with black stripes, smiling against a light blue background.

    Kristine

    It checked a few boxes for me: Meeting amazing women and learning about their businesses, being outside and getting my exercise in, and finding my tribe.

  • Brooke Ortiz, founder of The Creative Pour Experience, sitting behind a table with floral items and a sign that reads "Floral Preservation All That Glitters" in a decorated room with pink and floral curtains.

    Brooke

    As someone who can get overwhelmed in larger settings, I was surprised by how comfortable and welcoming the whole experience felt.

  • A young woman with short curly hair smiling outdoors, wearing a sleeveless white crochet dress.

    Christine

    Breaking into smaller groups and 1:1s made it easy to connect. It felt like the perfect length and it included time to grab coffee and keep chatting after the walk.

  • Bold black text on a colorful abstract background reading "ART CAFE" repeated multiple times with splashes of orange, yellow, red, blue, and green.

    Cory

    Within two weeks of the walk, I partnered with one biz bestie on a product gift set and I’m partnering with two others on co-hosting creative events.

  • A woman and two children smiling and hugging on the beach by the water.

    Michelle

    After the meetup I was excited to stay in touch with the women I met, which I don’t always feel after traditional networking events.

  • Grace

    Sharon does a great job of fostering authentic relationships without the surface-level, pitchy feel. I look forward to attending more meetups!

  • Green and white logo featuring a stylized upward arrow and a circle with radiating lines.

    Jennifer

    I met women like me, working to overcome challenges as entrepreneurs. It felt like I was hanging out with friends instead of competing to be heard.

  • Logo for Sided & Timber Co. with stylized text in a dark circular background.

    Megan

    Hearing what others are working toward was such a good reminder that we’re not meant to do this entrepreneurial journey alone.

  • Two people sharing a joyful moment: a woman leaning on a man's shoulder with a big smile, both appearing happy and affectionate.

    Randy

    It felt really good to step away from the usual busy networking scene and just enjoy a calm walk with fellow business owners.

  • Cute black cat holding a coffee mug with a beige background.

    Tara

    As an introvert, I love how low-pressure and comfortable the BizBestie Walk meetup was. The walk-and-talk style made connecting feel natural and fun.

  • Woman with long black hair wearing a pink dress standing outdoors with blurred red flowers in background.

    Jo

    Nothing like this exists and I’m so glad to now have this opportunity in my local community!

  • Illustration of a house with a brick foundation and a chimney, surrounded by flowers and leaves, with text reading "Majestic Home Cleaning Service LLC."

    Chelli

    It made me feel less alone in building my business. I enjoyed being in a supportive space where we could share ideas and help each other grow.
