Get To Know CO.STARTERS in Communities

Join us for a panel of CO.STARTERS graduates, CO.STARTERS in Communities team members, and Create Birmingham staff as we discuss the journey of starting, growing, and sustaining a business in the City of Birmingham.

We want you to GET TO KNOW US!

We are excited to bring CO.STARTERS, a program for entrepreneurs, to the North Birmingham and Pratt/Ensley neighborhoods!

This initiative, in partnership with the City of Birmingham’s B.O.L.D. program,  gives us a chance to “Put People First” as Mayor Woodfin has mandated by serving residents, existing small business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs in these communities to reduce or eliminate barriers to starting and growing businesses.

We even get the opportunity to partner with The Dannon Project to design a track for re-entering residents.

So come by and bring a friend!

CO.STARTERS equips entrepreneurs with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn ideas into action. Facilitated by an experienced entrepreneur, you’ll identify assumptions about why and how your ventures will work and then talk to customers to validate your ideas. Learn the ins and outs of how to turn your passion into a sustainable and thriving venture.

Create Birmingham’s expansion of the CO.STARTERS program is made possible in large part thanks to a Building Opportunities for Lasting Development (BOLD) grant from the City of Birmingham’s Department of Innovation and Economic Opportunity.
