This is a look back at the courage it takes to start and the resilience it takes to continue. Britnee, Kat, and Melissa did not just build their businesses last year. They built confidence, clarity, and momentum.

Their stories show us that progress happens one decision at a time.

A year later, the growth is undeniable. If you are still in the middle, keep going. This part matters.

Startup life isn’t glamorous. It’s messy, challenging, and full of moments that test you. But it’s also where real growth happens.

Your first step might feel small, but it can take you farther than you think. Kat’s living proof.

The journey is hard, but the moment you realize you’re actually doing it, that changes everything. You made that happen. And you can keep it going.

Big news for one of our founders. 🎉

Roger Owens of Star Spangled Tea Coffee Co. has been awarded a grant that opens the door to up to $100,000 in equipment investment for his manufacturing operation.

This is what happens when founders have access to the right tools and steady support from a community that believes in long-term growth.

Congrats, Roger! We’re excited to see what comes next.

You’re not struggling because your idea isn’t good; you’re struggling because no one builds a business alone.

That’s why we created Cultivate: a program built for early-stage founders who are moving forward without a roadmap, mentorship, or real accountability.

Over a 10-week CO.STARTERS™ course and months of personalized mentorship, you’ll get the clarity, structure, and support needed to shape your idea and grow it with confidence.

Because effort isn’t the problem, the missing foundation is.

The Cultivate Program gives you that foundation. And from there, everything becomes possible. Powered by the Truist Foundation.
