Every founder starts somewhere.
How many of you have too many tabs open?
How many times has your launch date moved? 😅

Consider this the Founder Starter Pack. If you know, you know.

Hey founders 💬 What’s one part of building a business that caught you off guard?

Starting a business is not about doing everything at once. Melissa took it step by step.

🏥 Health requirements first
🏢 Space second
📄 Legal approvals last

Each move made the next one possible. That is how Little Bee Tattoo came to life. 🐝

Sometimes the hardest part is just knowing what comes first.

What was your first steps?

Ever notice how the more advice you read, the harder it gets to decide?

That is not a motivation problem.
That is information overload.

We see it every day at StartUP Columbus. Founders are taking action, but too many opinions without context can stall progress.

👉 If this sounds familiar, save this.
💬 If you’ve been here before, comment “context.”

02/03/2026

You do not have to be ready. You do not have to have it all figured out. You just have to be honest about where you are.

StartUP Columbus works with founders at every stage, from concept to scaling business. There is no wrong place to start and no pressure to move faster than what makes sense for you.

📌 If this feels true, save this post.

📣 Hey, business owners and founders! Where do you go when your business needs structure, not motivation?

The CoLAB Incubator at StartUP Columbus is built for founders who are already running a business and ready to grow with intention. It is a place to work, reset, and get support that actually keeps up with your business.

This is where the messy middle gets organized. Systems get built. Decisions get clearer.

Built for founders beyond the idea stage, ready for what’s next.

🤔 Anyone else in the messy middle?
