Jennifer Koenen, Bookkeeping Repair Specialist, Inc. has volunteered her time and expertise over the past 9-weeks to teach the Pasco EDC CO.STARTERS program. Please join the Pasco EDC, community leaders, and SMARTstart Incubator Program Manager, Tari Mitchell, as we celebrate the success of each of the five businesses that participated in the class. This program is offered several times a year through the Pasco EDC and funded by the Penny For Pasco.

The Pasco EDC CO.STARTERS program equips both seasoned and aspiring entrepreneurs with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn ideas into action and turn a passion into a sustainable and thriving endeavor. Working with others in a group, the program will help participants identify their assumptions about the potential success of their business and speak with customers to validate their ideas. Rapidly uncover any concerns with their business ideas, find practical solutions quickly, and leave the program with a deeper understanding of how to build a thriving business. The group will meet once a week for eight weeks and enjoy a celebration on the 9th week. The graduation night is a way for each of the business owners to pitch their businesses to the community as they move forward in their journey.
