Schedule a Meeting
Meetings to discuss becoming a part of the Short Street Team must be arranged exclusively through direct contact with management. We do not conduct unscheduled tours.
During the meeting, a Short Street team member will discuss your operations and help determine if Short Street is a good fit for your business.
You will also have the opportunity to meet Senior Members of the Short Street community and observe their operations in action.
PLEASE NOTE: we accept only a limited number of startup members each year, therefore, applicants must be operationally prepared to dedicate the time, effort, and finances needed to start and sustain a business for a minimum of 6 months membership. This ensures that new members are positioned for success within our community.
