“You find value in what you already know, what you can share with everyone, and what others can share with you.

Javela Singleton // Gifted Hands Artisan Soap, Village Launch

For me it’s really helpful to be able to tell the people in the CO.STARTERS program that I am doing all of the work alongside them. I started small and am still figuring this stuff out.

Lisa Garner // Garner Blue , The Co

“I thought it would be great to take this concept through the CO.STARTERS process, because I had the idea, but I needed a disciplined way to stick with it and see it through.”

Will Lovelady // Stix N Smoke , The Co
