BNI Highrise Connection is a referral-based networking group in Los Gatos. Visit us at http://www.bnisanjose.com

We meet Fridays from 7 AM - 8:30 AM to grow our businesses through trusted connections and qualified referrals. Highrise Connection is a proud chapter of Business Network International (BNI)—a global organization built on the philosophy of “Givers Gain.” That means we believe when we help others grow their business, our own success follows. Our mission is to create a strong, local network of profe

ssionals who consistently pass qualified business referrals to one another—not cold leads, but real connections that lead to real growth. We meet every Friday from 7:00–8:30 AM at Office Evolution, 16185 Los Gatos Blvd #205, Los Gatos, CA. During these sessions, members and guests have the opportunity to:

- Deliver short business pitches (infomercials)

- Learn from 2 10 minute member presentations
- Build long-term relationships rooted in trust and accountability
