About The BIG DL Business Collective
Our Mission
Why This Matters
What We Offer
We believe business works best when it feels like community. The Big DL Business Collective was created to bring Detroit Lakes entrepreneurs, leaders, and dreamers together in a consistent, welcoming rhythm. Our mission is simple: help local businesses thrive by making it easier to connect, collaborate, and be seen.

What We Offer
This isn’t another stuffy networking group. It’s a place where you can:
Be Seen — Show up as yourself and let people know who you are and what you do.
Be Connected — Build genuine relationships that fuel referrals, ideas, and growth.
Be a Big DL — Stand proud as part of something bigger than your business alone.
What We Do

Why This Matters
We keep it simple and consistent. Every Friday we host Coffee Chats, once a month we gather for a Business Breakfast, and once a month we relax at an After Hours Social. On top of that, we’ll highlight members in our directory, share spotlights, and create easy opportunities for you to plug in and grow.

Our community is full of talented people and powerful businesses — but too often we’re all working in our own corners. Big DL makes it easy to meet regularly, build trust, and create momentum. When businesses are stronger, our whole town grows stronger with them.
