What is CoStarting?

CoStarting is a methodology and framework that helps makers and entrepreneurs create and launch products and services. The core pillars are Openness and Collaboration and are embraced with a remote-first mindset.

Openness
Multiple creators join a cohort and work alongside one another in a given timeframe to create their projects. Everyone commits their time and money as well as willingness to help the other cohort members.

Collaboration
The decision to be coStarting a project allows you to open up to anyone who wants to become a collaborator. Similar to open source projects coStarting companies embrace the an open an transparent culture beyond just code. Any aspect of the business is open and people can join to collaborate on it.

Remote First
With todays possibilities being better than ever for founders to start companies remotely, and accelerated by the pandemic, we are leaning in and embrace a remote first approach. Our founders could be anywhere in the world. We believe location should not stop you from building something great.
