Reputation Management + MORE!
Most business owners are drowning in tools they don't use and tasks they can't escape. Lumina AI changes that.
Built on one of the most powerful business automation platforms in the world, Lumina handles your follow-up, your bookings, your reputation, your conversations, and your marketing — while you focus on actually running your business.
When you pair that with the Ascension Business Collective, something rare happens. You're not just getting software. You're getting a community of entrepreneurs who are all actively using the same systems, learning together, growing together, and holding each other accountable.
The tools are powerful alone.
The community makes them unstoppable!

THE WEEKLY RITUAL
Coffee + Coworking is more than a networking event.
1. Show up as you are.
No performative networking. No forced elevator pitches. We gather every week to work, share, and breathe. Bring your laptop, grab a coffee, and settle into a space where authenticity leads.
2. Connect with people who get it.
Building a local business can feel isolating. Here, you're surrounded by DFW entrepreneurs who understand the late nights, the launches, and the grind. Find your sounding board, your next collaborator, or simply a friend who understands the journey.
3. Get your business seen.
Visibility is built into the room. Whether you’re utilizing our priority spotlights or connecting directly with other founders, this is your platform. We ensure every member has the space to showcase their expertise and elevate their brand.
4. Leave with something real.
This isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about moving forward. Between the deep-dive strategy discussions, the shared resources, and the momentum of the room, you’ll walk out every Friday equipped with actionable clarity for the week ahead.

Platform for All
Every owner deserves a stage. We amplify your voice, giving you the visibility and tools to reach your people.
AI Without the Hype
Practical, done-with-you automation that actually saves you time - no tech degrees or buzzwords required.
Rooted in DFW
Built for our home. We are fiercely dedicated to the local businesses that make Dallas-Fort Worth thrive.
THE VISIONARY
Built by someone who's been in your seat.
Neesha is the founder of Ascension Studios - a full-service multimedia agency and recording studio located in downtown Arlington - and the creator of Lumina AI, an AI-powered marketing platform designed specifically for local businesses. She also founded DFW Local Experts, a growing business directory and networking community.
She started Coffee + Coworking because local business owners needed a true home base. Not just another leads group or passing networking event, but a place to build real connections, access powerful tools, and grow alongside people who understand the journey.
CLARITY BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Questions about the Circle?
We know your time is valuable and you want to be sure this is the right room for your business. Here is everything you need to know about how Fridays work, what Lumina AI is, and what happens when you join.
Do I have to attend every event?
Not at all. Your membership gives you access to weekly networking events, but we know you have a business to run. Show up when it works for you—though you'll quickly find that consistency is where the magic and deep connections happen.
What is Lumina AI and do I need tech experience?
Lumina AI is our all-in-one marketing platform built specifically for local businesses. And no, you don't need any tech experience. We provide the tools, the templates, and the hands-on support to help you use it effectively without the overwhelm.
What's the difference between Inner Circle and VIP?
Inner Circle members get access to group coaching. VIP members receive 1:1 support and guaranteed, recurring spotlight with their own dedicated stage time every single month.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Absolutely. You can adjust your membership tier at any time as your business needs evolve. If a Founding Chair seat opens up, current Circle Members will always get first access to upgrade.
