Anyone Can Startup Community

My Zoom screenshotting skills may need a little work, but this was too exciting to wait for the professional photos for!

For the past 8 weeks, I've been learning alongside 35 extraordinary bla(c)k and women of colour founders across Australia in The Creative Co-Operative's first cohort of Anyone Can.This felt like so much more than an entrepreneurship program - the sense of community among the cohort was so palpable. Especially as a full-time founder, this kind of support is monumental.
