If you have a cooperative business idea you’d like to explore, or want to learn more about the cooperative business model, read on:
We’re Walnut Studiolo on Hwy 53, we founded Artisans Cooperative, an online co-op alternative to Etsy. North County was built is on cooperatives! Tillamook County Creamery Association of course, but also the Mohler Co-op Grocery and the Grange halls. But not many know a lot about starting new cooperative businesses today.
Start.coop is an NGO whose mission is to scale the cooperative business model. They received a USDA grant to help you workshop your cooperative business idea. We went through their Accelerator program for Artisans Co-op and also their free online on-demand course, Lean Co-op. We’re big fans and Valerie was an advisor to the Spring Rural Incubator.
Applications are now open for the Fall Incubator Program. This is a free, 8-week, virtual/online learning program with one-on-one advisors and classrooms to help you explore and develop your cooperative business idea, as well as $1,000 to help you get started.
Popular models include: child care cooperatives, home care cooperatives, housing cooperatives and food-related cooperatives – but it could be any business idea you have!
