The BEA is a 10-week, cohort-based program designed to help aspiring and early-stage founders turn ideas into sustainable businesses with clarity, confidence, and community. Built around the CO.STARTERS curriculum, the BEA walks founders through customer discovery, business modeling, financial fundamentals, and growth planning in a small, supportive group setting. Participants work alongside facilitators, business coaches, guest speakers, and mentors who provide real-time feedback and practical guidance, while building relationships with peers who are navigating similar challenges.
