What to expect?
CO.STARTERS is an action-driven and very collaborative program. We run it this way because we believe the power is in the community intent on supporting each person to a successful outcome. If starting out, CO.STARTERS will be the strong foundation that will see you still in business years after you leave the program. If you are a seasoned business, we connect you with the innovation community to get the new idea feasibility tested and launched. Led by facilitators who are highly experienced, you’ll identify your assumptions about why and how your businesses or new ideas will work. This approach enables you to rapidly uncover flaws in your concept and find viable models more quickly. You’ll leave the program with a deeper understanding of sustainable business, be a success, and repeat the process with your next great idea. Be a business success story, not a business casualty!
