The next cohort starts July 1.

Most founders don’t need more motivation. They need direction, structure, and guidance to figure things out without guessing every step.

That’s why CO.STARTERS was built.

A lot of founders stay stuck searching for grants, refreshing websites, and waiting for someone to fund the idea.

Meanwhile, the founders making moves are learning how to actually access capital.

That means:
💰 Loan programs
🏦 Community lenders (CDFIs)
📋 SBA funding
📈 Real financial infrastructure

It's information like this, we help you find.

📌 Save this for later.

Every business starts with “I hope this works.”

This is your sign to stop overthinking and go for it.
Kristi Simmons-Pitts of Crowned Beauty Co. did exactly that.

From “I hope this works” to customers walking in, recognizing her brand, and buying.

Because when you get in front of real people, things change.
