What this is
A business, not a blank page.
Each business has already been shaped, tested, priced, documented, and set up with the tools needed to begin serving customers.
You get a business model, training, tools, templates, and launch support. Two models: Solo (you do everything, keep 100%) or Cofounder (a 12-month path — full infra, client lists, and support, split 51% to you and 49% to mission).

Business selector
Not sure which one fits?
Answer three quick questions. The page will narrow the field and point you to the best matches.
Find your match
There is no perfect answer. This is only meant to help you start with the clearest fit.
If more than one looks right, open the detail pages and choose the one whose customers and daily work feel most natural.
Suggested businesses

Fit check
Check all that apply.
Read each one. Some describe what tends to predict a strong start — revenue, milestones, and mission. Some don't. Select the ones that are actually true for you.

What is not included: guaranteed customers, unlimited done-for-you labor, or a promise that every business fits every person. You get a working business and the support to run it well. You still have to show up, learn, and serve customers.
The path
Start where you are.
Solo: pay once, own it all, do all the work. Cofounder: a 12-month path — full infra, client lists, and support, split 51% to you and 49% to mission. Wherever you start, it's one path — Cofounder continues into tethered or untethered from where the runway ends.
Solo
- One-time fee, usually $500–$700 depending on the business.
- You own the full kit outright, no strings attached.
- Keep 100% of everything you earn, from day one, forever.
- No ongoing tie to us — good if you'd rather pay once and go.
Cofounder
- 12-month path. Full infra, bench, tools, coaches, and community — all in.
- Client lists included. You own the brand and every relationship you build.
- Split: 51% to you, 49% to mission.
- No equity taken, no IP claim, no debt. The business is yours.
- Exit any time — no penalty.
We're a nonprofit. The 49% mission share funds stipends and support for the builders coming up behind you.
| Solo | Cofounder | |
|---|---|---|
| Term | Once, then you're independent | 12-month path |
| We give you | Training, templates, scripts, tools, AI prompts, software list, launch support | Full infra, bench, tools, coaches, community, and client lists |
| You pay | One flat fee, once, usually $500–$700 | Nothing upfront — split 51% to you, 49% to mission |
| You own | The kit and 100% of everything you earn | The business — no equity taken, no IP claim, no debt |
| Exit | Nothing to exit — it's yours outright | Any time — tethered or untethered, your call |
At any point, your call
Tethered or untethered.
The 12-month path isn't a lock-in. Whenever you're ready — during or after — you decide how you want to keep going.
Tethered — coop member
- 1% of revenue to mission
- Keeps infrastructure + bench access
- No stipend — operating independently
- Remains part of the cooperative
Untethered — pay once
- One-time payment for the starter pack — same as Solo's fee
- Own the venture outright, no ongoing contribution
- Keeps the starter kit, no strings attached
- The venture is yours, fully and cleanly
Not for you? Walk away any time — no cost, no penalty, no harm, no foul. You just don't have the business.
From application to launch
What happens after you apply.
Step 1
Apply
You choose a business and tell us about your fit, schedule, and goals.
Step 2
Review
We review your application for fit, readiness, and whether the business makes sense for you.
Step 3
Conversation
If it looks promising, we talk through the work, expectations, cost, and the support you may need.
Step 4
Setup
We prepare your launch materials, tools, templates, and training plan around the business you chose.
Step 5
Launch
You begin outreach, take your first customer, and keep moving with office hours and community support.
Training and support
You are not left alone after launch.
Before launch
- Business training for the studio you chose
- Offer, pricing, and delivery walkthroughs
- Software setup
- Sales scripts and proposal practice
- Starter project examples and templates
After launch
- Community support from other builders
- Office hours for questions and decisions
- Help refining your offer after early client work
- Guidance on retainers, upsells, and growth
- Support deciding what to build next
Funding
Funding is possible, but not automatic.
If Solo's one-time fee would otherwise block you, some participants may qualify for starter funding to cover it. Cofounder already has no upfront cost, so this mainly applies to Solo.
Starter funding may be used for things like software, a domain, internet support, a headset, or a few core tools needed to begin. It is not a general cash grant and it is not promised to everyone who applies.
Frequently asked questions
The questions people usually ask before applying.
Why would I do this instead of starting my own business?
You can absolutely start your own business. This is for people who want to skip the blank-page phase and begin with something already designed, priced, documented, and supported.
What if I have no experience?
That is normal. This is designed for people who need a practical starting point, not just advice.
What if I already have experience?
You may move faster, charge more, or pick a more advanced version of the work. It still saves time by giving you a full operating base.
How do I choose a business?
Start with the selector, then compare the businesses by customer type, pricing, first-customer speed, and weekly commitment. Pick the one whose daily work you can actually see yourself doing.
How long before I can take customers?
Some studios can reach a first customer in one to two weeks. Others take a little longer. Each business page shows the typical range.
How do I get customers?
You get pricing, sales scripts, outreach guidance, and offer packaging. You will still need to do the outreach and follow-up yourself.
What support continues after launch?
You keep access to community support, office hours, and guidance on refining the offer as you begin working with customers.
Can I grow beyond the starter business?
Yes. This is meant to help you get moving. From there you can raise prices, add services, specialize, or grow into a broader business.
What's the difference between Solo and Cofounder?
Solo: buy the kit for $500-700, do all the work yourself, keep 100%. Cofounder: a 12-month path with full infra, bench, tools, coaches, community, and client lists — split 51% to you, 49% to mission. No equity taken, no IP claim, no debt either way.
Can I leave Cofounder early, or stay longer?
Leave any time, no penalty — the business is yours either way. The runway is 12 months of full support; nothing forces you to stop or continue beyond what works for you.
Application
Know which business fits? Apply now.
By now you should know which business makes the most sense for you, what you receive, what you are expected to do, how the cost works, and what support continues after launch.
If you are still between two businesses, open both detail pages and compare the customer types, weekly commitment, and monthly revenue scenarios before you apply.
