The Approach

Two Products. One Shared Mission.

For over a decade, CO.STARTERS has helped thousands of entrepreneurs turn uncertainty into clarity — showing them that starting a business isn't about having all the answers, it's about taking the right steps in the right order.

Meanwhile, FINSYNC saw that 80% of small businesses fail not because entrepreneurs don't work hard enough, but because they lack the financial infrastructure and connections to access capital when they need it most.

So we aligned. CO.STARTERS brings the proven curriculum that helps entrepreneurs validate and launch. FINSYNC brings the platform and funding network that keeps them operational and fundable. Together, we've created the first accelerator where your entrepreneurs don't just learn and plan — they build from day one with the tools and connections that actually help them succeed.

Two Products. One Shared Mission.

How It Works

Start

Validate the Idea

Through CO.STARTERS' 10 - week curriculum, entrepreneurs work through a proven canvas that tests every part of their business model — from customer discovery to revenue strategy.

By the end, they have a clear business plan and the confidence to move forward.

Build

Start Operating

Through FINSYNC, they're not waiting until "someday" to get organized — they're setting up their business infrastructure from week one. They're managing cash flow, creating invoices, tracking expenses, and building the operational habits that separate successful businesses from failed ones.

By graduation, they're not just planning to run a business — they already are.

Fund

Become Fundable

Through this accelerator, entrepreneurs will know and start preparing to share what lenders actually want to see: a solid business plan, a clear growth strategy, clean financial records, and real operational data.

They're connected to FINSYNC's network of 1,500+ funding partners, and when they're ready for capital, they don't have to scramble — they're already fundable.
