    The CO.STARTERS program is a cohort of fellow aspiring entrepreneurs who will share their ideas with others in the program. Unlike programs where the focus is on the conventional considerations of starting businesses (financing, permitting/regulations, etc.), our program focuses on insights, relationship-building, and models. Participants will work with mentor/facilitators and fellow participants on how to make their ideas work in a sustainable way. If you want to explore your business idea with experienced entrepreneurs and fellow aspiring entrepreneurs and turn it into success, then this program is right for you.

    Aspiring entrepreneurs who have recently launched a business or simply have a business plan that they want to pursue are welcome in this program.
