CO.STARTERS Bootcamp
A four-part plan for launching your big idea.
Starting a business is an exciting journey, but the path forward isn’t always clear.
During this two day, four-part bootcamp, you’ll collaboratively work with peers to strategize, problem solve, and apply business basics to your idea or venture. Our goal is to challenge you, stretch your thinking, and give you concrete tools to bring your business to life. This bootcamp is not about listening; it’s about doing.
CO.STARTERS Bootcamp will give you:
- a safe place to share, experiment, fail, and learn together.
- a framework for better identifying and addressing key issues.
- connections to people and resources to help you make progress in your business.
- concrete next steps to focus on going forward, starting with the most important.
- confidence you’re headed in the right direction.
In partnership with Owatonna Community Education, with funding provided in part by SMIF's Prosperity Initiative. $59 for materials. Scholarships are also available. Classes are held at Rose Street Center, 115 E Rose St, Owatonna, MN 55060. Saturday March 7th from 9 AM - 4 PM and Saturday, March 14th from 9 AM - 4 PM.
