Get Started Workshop 

Seats are Limited

During the CO.STARTERS Get Started Workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to understand what’s driving you, to explore your idea through the CO.STARTERS Canvas, and refine your model by learning ways to get meaningful customer feedback and start pursuing your idea today. You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the community and make valuable connections to help you along the way.

​

This workshop is designed for up to 20 participants.   It is a hands-on workshop that helps participants work  together to  “kickstart”  new ideas or “jumpstart” existing ones.    Whether you’re just starting, stuck on a particular issue, or in need of a refresher, this workshop will provide the fuel needed to get you moving.
