This week, two of our members came back to share their story with our newest cohort. 🙌🏽

Adam from Green Man Gardening stopped by this week's camp session to share his journey and what support from Can-Do Kalamazoo meant for his business. And The Dread'd Chef TM brought the food for our whole cohort. 🌱🍽️

Two great examples of how Can-Do keeps showing up for our entrepreneurs, and how our members keep doing the work and building something real. 💚

We’re proud to introduce our newest B.E.T.A Cohort for 2026! 🎉

Join us in celebrating these driven and inspiring entrepreneurs as they begin their journey through Business, Entrepreneurship, Training, and Advancement. Over the next several months, they’ll gain the tools, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed to build, manage, and grow their businesses. From developing strong foundations to refining their ideas, this cohort is ready to put in the work and make an impact.

We’re excited to support and watch them grow as they prepare for their upcoming pitch competition this August—where they’ll showcase everything they’ve been working toward (more details coming soon!). 🚀

Welcome to the B.E.T.A family—we can’t wait to see what you build!
