The Business Concept is a key piece of the Startup Food Co-op Development Framework. Rooted in your co-op's purpose, the business concept can help to clarify a vision for how you'll manifest those values into a business that can survive and thrive in your unique community. In this session, we will explore the startup co-op Business Concept in more depth, and discuss why a clear Business Concept will contribute to all areas of your startup organizing: from building a strong business plan, to growing community buy-in, to attracting talent and resources, to cultivating strong leadership alignment!
