Whether you’re looking for a quick grab-and-go breakfast to fuel your morning or you’d prefer to sit at the kitchen table and chat with your fellow Vibists, Waffle Wednesday is your moment to pause, connect, and enjoy a little midweek treat. Need to hop on a Zoom meeting? No problem—take your plate with you and keep the good vibes going.
Waffle Wednesday's are for Vibe Members. It’s our way of celebrating the community that makes this space so special.

                <![CDATA[Nov 6, 2026 2:30pm to 6pm<br><br>Meet the businesses building what's next in Kitsap

#### There's a lot that goes into building a business, and most of it happens behind the scenes.


On Friday, November 6, we're bringing some of that work into the spotlight.
Join Matchstick Lab as we celebrate the entrepreneurs participating in our Micro Business Accelerator. They'll share a little about their businesses, what they've learned along the way, and the goals they're working toward over the next 90 days.
This isn't a pitch competition. There are no judges or prizes. It's an opportunity to meet some of Kitsap's hardworking entrepreneurs, hear their stories, and find ways to support the businesses they're building.
And because good things happen when people connect, we'll roll right into Vibe Coworks' [First Friday Happy Hour](https://vibecoworks.com/free-1st-fridays/ "https://vibecoworks.com/free-1st-fridays/") afterward.

**Friday\, November 6 \| 2:30–6:00 PM**
Vibe Coworks, Poulsbo

**2:30–4:00 PM \| Micro Business Accelerator Showcase**
Hear directly from our participating entrepreneurs, celebrate their progress, and learn how you might be able to help them take their next steps.

**4:00–6:00 PM \| First Friday Happy Hour**
Stick around for drinks, conversation, and a chance to meet the people behind the businesses.

**Everyone is welcome.** Whether you're a fellow entrepreneur, a potential customer, a mentor, a community partner, or simply someone who likes seeing local businesses succeed, we'd love to have you in the room.

<br>
**Free to attend. Please register so we know you're coming.**
The Matchstick Lab Micro Business Accelerator is presented by Matchstick Lab in partnership with the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, with funding support from the Wells Fargo Foundation.

### 

<br>
**Who Should Attend**

* **2026 Micro Business Accelerator participants:** This is your chance to share what you've been working on, celebrate your progress, and connect with people who can help you move forward.
* **Entrepreneurs and business owners:** Meet fellow founders, exchange ideas, and build relationships with others navigating the ups and downs of running a business.
* **Mentors, investors, and business professionals:** Get to know local entrepreneurs, hear what they're working toward, and discover where your experience or connections might make a difference.
* **Community members and local business supporters:** Discover businesses you might not know about yet, meet the people behind them, and find new ways to shop local and support Kitsap entrepreneurs.

**You don't need to own a business to attend. Everyone is welcome!**]]>

                <![CDATA[Nov 13, 2026 7:30am to 9am<br><br># CreativeMornings is the world's largest face-to-face creative community. 

Every month, CreativeMornings gathers in 228 cities across 68 countries, for free. As of 2023, Poulsbo is now one of those cities, thanks to the leadership of founding Vibe members Rachael Studebaker and Jefte Sanchez, and the continued leadership of Amber Sallay. If you'd like to get involved as a volunteer\\, speaker or sponsor\\, CreativeMornings Poulsbo would love to have you\\. Contact the team at \\[poulsbo@creativemornings\\.com\\]\\(mailto: poulsbo@creativemornings\\.com\\)\\.

## Our theme for November is DEVOTION.

It was chosen by our \[Shenandoah Valley chapter\]\(https://creativemornings\.com/cities/SVA\) in Virginia and illustrated by \[Matthew Phelan\]\(https://creativemornings\.com/blog/devotion\-illustrator\-matthew\-phelan\)\. 

Creativity is often portrayed as a lightning bolt of inspiration that strikes in a flash. But most creative work is toiled over and tended to. Page by page, rehearsal by rehearsal, brushstroke by brushstroke. We feel called to bring our vision to life. For centuries, illuminated manuscripts, hand-written Qur'ans and Torahs, Buddhist sand mandalas, and Hindu temple carvings were made by people who didn't separate making from praying.  

But creating doesn’t always feel like a revelation. The drafts that go nowhere. Practices when nothing clicks. Every sketchbook page you want to tear out. Every version you save then start over. You must keep the faith during the dry spells and blocks.  

Practicing your craft is a ritual. It is an act of love.  

Our Shenandoah Valley chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme: 

*“In a world constantly competing for our attention\, “devotion” invites us to pause and ask: to what\, or to whom\, do we truly give ourselves? It is a return—a quiet\, daily choosing\. Devotion lives in what we tend to with care: creative practice\, meaningful work\, each other\. Not loud\, but steady\. Not rigid\, but rooted\. It offers clarity amid distraction and asks: where do you place your attention\, your love\, your time? Whether in the calm of a morning ritual\, the intention behind our art\, or the care we offer our communities\, devotion grounds us\. As Mary Oliver's \[Devotions\]\(https://www\.goodreads\.com/en/book/show/34272476\-devotions\) reminds us\, reverence lives in the everyday\. Devotion is presence—a way of saying: this matters\.”*

<br>
### Everyone is creative. 


A creative life requires bravery and action, honesty and hard work. 
We are here to support you, celebrate with you, and encourage you to make the things you love. 
We believe in the power of community. 
We believe in giving a damn. 
We believe in face-to-face connections, in learning from others, in hugs and high fives. 
We bring together people who are driven by passion and purpose, confident that they will inspire one another, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities around the world. 
**Everyone is welcome.**]]>

                <![CDATA[Nov 18, 2026 9am to 5pm<br><br># A day for founders to connect, dig into real challenges, exchange ideas, and bring their insights to those positioned to create change. 


#### Ready to be part of what Kitsap builds next?


Firebrand brings together the founders, business owners, innovators, and creators actively shaping Kitsap’s economic future. Some are building companies rooted in our downtowns and neighborhoods. Others are developing new technologies, manufacturing physical products, advancing ideas in health and life sciences, pursuing government markets, or building businesses that don’t fit neatly into any existing category. They may be building in very different ways, but many are navigating the same questions: 

* Where do we find the right people, knowledge, and capital?
* How do we build something ambitious without losing ourselves in the process?
* What makes it easier—or unnecessarily difficult—to start and grow here?
* And who still doesn’t see Kitsap’s entrepreneurial community as a room meant for them?

Unlike a traditional conference, Firebrand doesn't begin with a predetermined list of answers. The agenda is shaped by the people in the room, and the questions they are genuinely trying to work through. 

#### What to Expect


Throughout the day, you’ll have opportunities to: 

* Kick off the day with a thought-provoking opening 
* Have candid, founder-only conversations about the realities of building and growing 
* Exchange ideas and experiences across industries 
* Dig deeper into the topics and challenges that matter most to you
* Connect over a shared community meal
* Bring founder insights into conversation with people positioned to help change the conditions around them
* Build relationships with other people creating, testing, and growing something in Kitsap 

Come ready to speak honestly, listen generously, and help make room for what Kitsap can build next! 

<br>
#### Who Should Attend


Firebrand is for people actively building, testing, and pursuing something—from experienced business owners and growth-stage founders to technology innovators, manufacturers, creatives, researchers, and emerging founders actively testing an idea. 

**Firebrand is designed for:**

* Founders and business owners actively building or growing a company
* Product, manufacturing, technology, and life sciences innovators
* Creatives and Main Street entrepreneurs bringing ambitious ideas to life
* Founders exploring investment, acquisition, government markets, or other growth pathways
* Researchers, inventors, and emerging founders turning ideas into ventures
* Entrepreneurs who want to build from Kitsap but haven’t yet found their community here 


#### Ticketing Structure


**Register early and save—every Pass includes the complete Firebrand Unconference experience.** 

* **Early Bird Unconference Pass:** **$70** *Available September 20 – October 3*
* **Firebrand Unconference Pass : $80** *Available October 4 – November 16*

***The Firebrand Unconference is designed exclusively for current business owners and leadership team members.***

#### Keep the Conversation Going at the After Party


Your Firebrand ticket also gets you **50% off your ticket to the [Firebrand After Party](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2026-firebrand-after-party-tickets-2001668944697?aff=ebdsoporgprofile)**. Your discount code will be displayed on your confirmation page and included in your confirmation email after you register.]]>

                <![CDATA[Nov 18, 2026 1pm to 5pm<br><br># **Backing What’s Next** is an invitation-only working session for people interested in strengthening how Kitsap founders—and the ecosystem around them—are connected and supported.

The gathering builds on Matchstick Lab’s recent research and conversations with founders, investors, financial institutions and community partners. Together, we’ll examine what that work suggests about Kitsap’s capital landscape, pressure-test several emerging possibilities and identify where there is credible energy for next steps.

                <![CDATA[Nov 18, 2026 5pm to 7pm<br><br># Where Kitsap's founders, backers, builders and community connectors come together. Drinks, bites, and real conversations.

**The doors are opening wider.**
After a full day of candid conversation at the Firebrand Unconference, we're opening the doors wider.

The Firebrand After Party brings together the founders, business owners, innovators and creators who participated in Firebrand with people from across the community who want to know them, support them and better understand what it takes to build from Kitsap.

Some guests will arrive carrying conversations from the day. Others will be joining us for the first time.

**You do not need to attend the Firebrand Unconference to attend the After Party.**

### **Not Your Typical Networking Event**

No panels. No presentations. No awkward round of introductions.

Just drinks, substantial bites, thoughtful introductions and two unhurried hours to meet people you might not encounter anywhere else.

Throughout the room, you'll find the founder-selected topics, questions and possibilities that surfaced during the Firebrand Unconference. They're there to give you an easy way into a conversation, whether you participated during the day or are encountering the ideas for the first time.

### **Find Your People**

When you arrive, choose up to two Firebrand party beads that best describe what you're bringing to the room:

* Building Something
* Sharing Experience
* Opening Doors
* Backing What's Next
* Listening + Learning

The beads aren't about putting people into boxes. They're a simple signal to make it easier to find the people you might have a reason to know.
Firebrand matchmakers will also be circulating throughout the evening, making thoughtful introductions and connecting people based on what they're building, looking for, curious about or able to offer.

### **Who Should Come?**

The Firebrand After Party is designed to bring together people who don't always end up in the same room:

**Founders, Business Owners, Innovators + Creators**
Meet people who understand what it takes to build something and expand your connections beyond your usual circles.

**Investors + People Interested in Backing Local Companies**
Meet more of the people building in and from Kitsap and better understand the opportunities, challenges and ideas emerging here.

**Mentors, Advisors + Experienced Company Builders**
Bring your experience, make useful connections and meet founders who may benefit from what you've learned.

**Civic + Government Leaders**
Hear directly from the people building businesses in our community and better understand what they're experiencing.

**Educators, Economic Development Partners + Community Organizations**
Connect with founders and with one another around the relationships, resources and opportunities that could strengthen our entrepreneurial ecosystem.

**Connectors + Community Champions**
If you're the person who is always thinking, "You two need to know each other," this room is for you.

<br>
### **Come Curious**

You don't need a pitch. You don't need to know everyone in the room. And you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you're looking for.
Come ready to meet someone new, ask a better question, share what you know and discover more of what's being built in and from Kitsap.]]>
