Over the years we’ve brought more than 135 individuals through our CO.STARTERS program. Some are full-time at it and adding employees left and right and some are running it as a side-hustle. Some joined us at their very beginning and some had been in business a few years before participating. We chose to share the faces behind the business so that we're all reminded that there are individuals in our community running these. They need our support --think of them and other small business owners first the next time you need a fence, a photographer, a gift or whatever.
