Inclusion in the CO.STARTERS Gift Guide is free. It’s something we love doing each year at the holidays to highlight the amazing community of founders we are privileged to play a part in supporting. And since we publish online, it’s free to shoppers too.
If your product or service would be of interest to someone outside your location, feel free to submit it! We curate the guide to include a section for items with a regional focus—you never know who might want an awesome t-shirt from North Dakota!
Giftable means anything you would considering buying someone for a Christmas gift! Shippable can include “intangibles” like gift cards or services as long as they can be ordered from anywhere (online) and delivered anywhere (physically or electronically).
We use the term “starter” to cross the boundaries of the entrepreneurial landscape from self-employed, to small business, to startups. Freelancer to founder—we believe anyone who has the passion to turn an idea into a product or service is an entrepreneur and should be supported and celebrated!
If you are a starter seeing this message, you are connected to the CO.STARTERS network and we want to promote you in the Gift Guide! If in doubt, submit, and we’ll be in touch if you’re not a fit for some reason.

While any entrepreneur will find some value from the program, Rebuild is best suited for entrepreneurs who have built or run businesses around models they have control over or can change. An MLM or franchise typically does not give owners that freedom.
The live sessions for Rebuild are delivered virtually to any desktop or mobile device. Participants also receive a physical workbook delivered by direct mail to make it easier for them to work through the sessions and complete field work in between. We and our host partners will make every effort to get you connected [...]
Rebuild is designed with a similar format and pathway as our trusted CO.STARTERS Core program, but the majority of the content is fresh and tailored to current and changing needs. To a CO.STARTERS graduate, it will feel familiar, but not redundant. Rebuild uses the CO.STARTERS Canvas but the conversation is framed as "How has [...]
The ideal participant for Rebuild is any existing business owner who is struggling, specifically due to COVID-19. Small or early stage businesses will be best suited for the program.
