Conversation-First Networking for Women Entrepreneurs
Traditional networking can feel overwhelming. Many events focus on filling the room rather than helping people make meaningful, high-quality connections.
We offer something different: welcoming, thoughtfully structured experiences that make space for conversation first.
At BizBestie Walk events, we connect in small groups. We begin with a personal connection question, then naturally move into conversations about our businesses.
No packed agendas or overwhelming crowds here.

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.

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

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!
-
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.
-
Megan
Hearing what others are working toward was such a good reminder that we’re not meant to do this entrepreneurial journey alone.
-
Randy
It felt really good to step away from the usual busy networking scene and just enjoy a calm walk with fellow business owners.
-
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.
-
Jo
Nothing like this exists and I’m so glad to now have this opportunity in my local community!
-
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.
