The Biz Foundry, the Upper Cumberland’s entrepreneur center, will be hosting Co.Starters, a business bootcamp designed to turn business ideas into action. The program begins in October and is open to the public. It is encouraged for all entrepreneurs and start-up businesses looking to turn their business idea into reality.
Jeff Brown, The Biz Foundry President, remarked, “There are a lot of people out there with good ideas. Co.Starters is a proven way to build a business around those good ideas.”
What are the prerequisites? Just having a business idea ready to share and pursue in addition to a willingness to study, shape and fine-tune that idea in a supportive, collaborative, and welcoming environment. If you’re creative and community-minded, and you’re serious about turning your passion into a sustainable business, we want you for this program. Some topics we will cover include marketing, customer growth, IP, pricing, cash flow and business models.
The program will be held in Cookeville at The Biz Foundry located at 140 West 7th Street. Participants will meet for seven weeks on Wednesdays from 5:30PM – 8:30PM beginning October 5 and ending November 16.
The program will also be held in McMinnville at the McMinnville/Warren County Chamber at 110 S Court Square in the Community room. Participants will meet for seven weeks on Thursdays from 5:30PM – 8:30PM beginning October 6 and ending November 17.
The cost is $150 per person with discounts for two or more team members. Food, drinks and material will be provided for both programs at each location. Facilitators for the program are experienced entrepreneurs that are well-connected in the community. They will share the challenges faced while starting and growing their businesses and help participants take the next practical steps to start or grow their business.
