Starting your own business is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. You’re juggling countless tasks, endless questions, and somewhere in between, trying to stay inspired. That’s where Icons Rising Study Halls come in—a creative and structured virtual coworking space designed to help new entrepreneurs not only survive but thrive.

Whether you're a creative professional, a college student dreaming big, or a first-time entrepreneur in need of direction, these sessions are crafted to help you make real progress—without the overwhelm. Here’s why Icons Rising Study Halls might just be the productivity boost you need.

What Are Icons Rising Study Halls?

Icons Rising Study Halls are virtual coworking and enrichment sessions designed with new entrepreneurs in mind. Created by Icon City Entertainment, these sessions serve as more than just a workspace—they’re built to foster growth, offer support, and create a thriving community of like-minded individuals.

With a mixture of focused work sessions, networking, and expert-led enrichment blocks, you’ll get the structure and support you need to tackle your business challenges head-on.

Oh, and did we mention it’s ADHD and neurodivergent-friendly? Sometimes you don’t just need productivity tips—you need body doubling (the simple act of working alongside someone to help you stay focused). Icons Rising takes that to the next level, combining it with mentorship, shared goals, and a sprinkle of community energy.

Why Choose Icons Rising Study Halls?

Here’s what makes Icons Rising unique—and why it’s not just another coworking solution:

• A Supportive Community  

  Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who can relate to the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. Icons Rising fosters collaboration, innovation, and networking, making it easier to break out of your own bubble and build meaningful connections.

• Focus-Friendly Environment  

  Struggling to focus at home with all those distractions? Study Halls create a structured, distraction-free workspace that prioritizes deep work. The two-hour sessions are designed to keep you productive and on-task.

• Learn from the Best  

  Access mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and guest experts who bring real-world insights to your entrepreneurial challenges. Each session includes enrichment blocks covering topics like marketing strategies, personal growth, and business development.

• Hands-On Enrichment  

  Icon City doesn’t just talk about opportunities—they create them. Get actionable advice on graphic design, web development, strategic partnerships, and sales strategies from industry leaders who’ve been there, done that.

• Neurodiverse-Friendly Support  

  Many entrepreneurs struggle with ADHD or other neurodivergent traits. Icons Rising embraces this reality, offering tools like body doubling, regular check-ins, and a clear agenda to focus your energy where it matters most.

• Affordable and Accessible  

  Sessions cost just $50, but thanks to the Icons Rising Initiative, free and discounted slots are regularly available to ensure cost isn’t a barrier for anyone who wants to participate.

If you’ve been feeling stuck—or just need a nudge to keep pushing forward—Icons Rising Study Halls might be your perfect fit.

How It Works: A Peek Into the Study Hall Experience

Here’s how a typical two-hour session is structured:

1. Opening (5 minutes)  

Led by Aigner "Anye Elite" Ellis, the host will set the stage for the session with a quick welcome and rundown of the day’s objectives. This is your chance to get set, focus, and prepare to bring your A-game.

2. Work Block (60 minutes)  

Dive into one full hour of uninterrupted focus time. Whether you’re working on a pitch deck, creating a marketing plan, or refining your website design, you’ll have the chance to work alongside others who are also heads-down in their projects. Small group check-ins are optional if motivation starts to dip.

3. Networking Break (15 minutes)  

Step away from your to-do list and connect with fellow entrepreneurs. This casual break is perfect for swapping ideas, discussing trends, or finding your next collaborator. These aren’t your average networking events; they’re tailored towards meaningful conversations.

4. Enrichment Session (15 minutes)  

Every session features a guest speaker or industry expert who’ll lead an insight-packed discussion. Topics range from marketing strategies to personal branding, ensuring you leave with tips you can put into play immediately.

5. Work Block (30 minutes)  

After networking and enrichment, it’s back to work—but this time with even more clarity. Optional breakout rooms allow you to collaborate with peers working on similar problems or projects.

6. Closing Session (15 minutes)  

Wrap up with a recap of the day’s wins, shared insights, and a preview of what’s coming next in future Study Halls.

This streamlined schedule means no wasted time and no wandering focus—just a productive mix of work, learning, and connection.

What You’ll Walk Away With

At the end of each session, you’ll leave with:

• Clear progress on your projects.

• Actionable insights from industry experts.

• Valuable connections with fellow entrepreneurs.

• Renewed motivation and focus.

But more than that, you’ll have a sense of belonging within a community of people just like you—ambitious, creative, and driven to succeed.
