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 do not need a business idea, startup background, or a brand. You choose a studio. We help you learn the work, launch it properly, and keep going after your first customers arrive.

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.

Everything included

The pieces you would otherwise spend months building.

Business foundation

  • Business name and positioning
  • Brand identity and logo
  • Website
  • Email setup
  • Service catalogue

Sales and delivery

  • Pricing guidance
  • Proposal templates
  • Contracts
  • Invoice templates
  • Client onboarding documents
  • Delivery checklists

Growth and support

  • Marketing assets
  • Sales scripts
  • AI prompt library
  • Operating playbook
  • Software setup
  • Training
  • Community support
  • Office hours
  • Starter funding where applicable

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.

Two ways to start

Pick how you pay. Not what you get.

Every business here is available two ways. Same training, tools, templates, and support either way — the only difference is whether you pay once or pay as you earn.

Download & Roll

  • 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.

Co-Venture

  • No upfront fee — we cover the cost of getting you going.
  • In return, you pay us 15% of what the business actually earns, for as long as you keep running it with us.
  • Untether any time — switch to Download & Roll, or leave entirely, no penalty, you keep every client you've built.
  • Good if you'd rather not pay anything up front.

We're a nonprofit. What we collect covers our real cost of running this program, plus 30% that funds impact — stipends and support for other builders coming up behind you. We publish that breakdown; we're not trying to extract value from you.

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 Download & Roll's one-time fee would otherwise block you, some participants may qualify for starter funding to cover it. That support depends on need, fit, and what the business actually requires — Co-Venture already has no upfront fee, so this mainly applies to Download & Roll.

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 Download & Roll and Co-Venture?

Download & Roll is a one-time fee — you own the kit outright and keep everything you earn from day one. Co-Venture has no upfront fee — instead you pay us 15% of what the business actually earns, for as long as you keep running it with us. Same training, tools, and support either way.

Can I switch between them, or leave?

Yes, any time. If you're on Co-Venture, you can untether — move to Download & Roll, or leave the arrangement entirely — with no penalty. You keep every client you've built either way.

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.
