Much time and testing was put into the development of the CO.STARTERS Core program to ensure each participant gets the help they need. Information is meant to build slowly and follow a particular progression that pushes the participant to think through various aspects, build an important support group, and ultimately determine the viability of their business. While there are certain elements each week that can flex (we cover these in the Community Training), we strongly recommend following the program order as prescribed for best results.

With that said, some communities have conducted an accelerated program over 5 weeks with 2 sessions per week. While it’s possible to do this, we recommend at least 3 days between sessions to allow for proper customer discovery and fieldwork. Without time to test and build, participants won’t get the full benefit of the program.
