This amazing group of people helped me push out of my comfort zone. They also helped me realize some things about myself that I never believed. I thank Tanya for everything she has done for me and is continuing to help with. Hugs to all 🥰
🎓✨ CO.STARTERS Core Fall Cohort Graduation ✨🎓
On December 19, we gathered with friends, family, and community partners to celebrate something pretty special — the graduation of our CO.STARTERS Core Fall Cohort.
Over ten weeks, these entrepreneurs showed up week after week to test ideas, talk with real people, challenge assumptions, support one another, and build stronger foundations for their businesses. What started as a cohort quickly became a community — full of collaboration, encouragement, laughter, and a shared commitment to growth.
From fierce (and friendly) weekly validation challenges 👑 to a heartfelt graduation celebration, this group embodied what entrepreneurship looks like in real life: courage, curiosity, and connection.
We’re so proud of every graduate and grateful to the partners, family members, and supporters who helped make this journey possible.
