    CO.STARTERS Core

    CO.STARTERS Program for Entrepreneurs

    Great Bend Economic Development, Inc. (GBED) will soon offer CO.STARTERS Core, a ten-session, cohort-based program that equips entrepreneurs of all kinds with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn business ideas into action. 

    Drawing from the experience of successful entrepreneurs and startup veterans from around the globe, CO.STARTERS walks creative small business owners through lean, effective business modeling methods in a simple and intuitive way, while connecting them to a supportive community of peers and mentors. Rather than treating a venture like a large corporation and writing a detailed business plan, CO.STARTERS participants are encouraged to build and test small models first. In the process, participants receive real-time customer feedback, update their models to meet customer needs and avoid creating businesses based on incorrect assumptions.

    The CO.STARTERS program has a global reach, serving more than 200 communities across the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. 

    In Great Bend, CO.STARTERS will be implemented and facilitated by GBED. GBED offers a robust and comprehensive path to guide entrepreneurs through every stage of their business journey. The ten-week CO.STARTERS Core program will kick off on April 3rd. This first cohort will meet on Wednesday evenings from 6 pm to 9 pm. The value of the class is over $2500 with the services and materials included, GBED has been able to have fees subsidized with sponsorships so participants pay $250. GBED is offering a rebate for participants if they attend 8 of the 10 classes they receive a $100 rebate. The class size is limited, so apply HERE today.
