BCAN Help Desk - Building Your Cooperative Business
Co-op curious? Join Emily Lerman and Aishah Afadhalah for a drop-in discussion on worker-owned cooperatives and how their team is using a co-op model to build Mera Kitchen Collective. You'll learn more about what a co-op is, why they are important, and gain resources for building and starting a co-op of your own. They'll offer pro-tips on using the business model canvas as a startup tool, mitigating risks, starting a small food business, and managing finances.
At Noon, we'll kick off a more structured lunch & learn discussion on capitalism, cooperatives and why we hope to see more co-ops in Baltimore and beyond. You bring the lunch - we'll bring the desserts!
