Take a tour of HBCOne of the greatest gifts you can give someone in business is an introduction to a person you genuinely believe they should meet.
At HBC, those gifts keep moving.
You introduce someone. They introduce someone else. A connection becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes a relationship. A relationship creates an opportunity.
And the whole community becomes stronger.
We believe in giving before taking. Not “What's in it for me?” but “Who do I know that you should meet?”
Be the person who knows someone.
Share your knowledge, experience, contacts and introductions. You never know which connection could make a difference to someone else's business.
Meet the person behind the business.
Have real conversations. Discover what people do, what they need, who they know, and where you might be able to help one another.
Build relationships that create opportunities.
When people know, like and trust one another, referrals, collaborations and opportunities happen naturally.
HBC is designed to be relaxed, welcoming and human. Come to meet people, not to perform. Give an introduction because you genuinely want to help, not because you have to.
HBC starts right here in Hillcrest, but your network doesn't have to stop here. As an HBC member, you become part of the wider My Most Trusted network and its trusted connections.
Your inner circle can open the door to your second degree. That's the power of a trusted network.
Our regular gatherings give members the opportunity to step away from screens, meet other business people, have a conversation, enjoy the surroundings and discover where connections might lead.
Meet someone new. Discover what they do. Find out who they know. See where you can help.

Take a tour of HBCYou don't have to be based in Hillcrest. If you're prepared to come and connect, you're welcome. What matters most is that you believe in the HBC way.
We don't want HBC to become another place where people arrive, sell themselves and leave. We want it to become a place where people look out for one another.
“I know exactly who you should meet.”
Where someone can ask, “Does anyone know someone who can help me with this?”
And someone else can say: “Actually… I do.”
You never know who you're going to meet. You never know who they know. And you never know which conversation might lead somewhere unexpected.
