Selfmade Launches Peer-Supported, Expert-Led Cohorts To Help You Scale Your Business
No one scales a business successfully alone. Talk to any successful entrepreneur and they will tell you that modeling another's success and having peers hold you accountable can unlock and accelerate real growth for founders.
Since 2020, over 3,500 women founders have trusted Selfmade, Brit + Co's flagship membership community for women, to help them realize their full business potential as founders, small biz owners, freelancers, side hustlers, and dreamers looking to make their mark on the world.
After seven past cohorts supporting Selfmade members, the team is thrilled to announce our first three public cohorts focusing on Personal Branding, Strategic Growth, and Organic Social Media Growth are open to apply or join.
Additionally, Selfmade is now opening our public cohort program to outside experts who have masterminds and courses that could add value for our community. Well-qualified content experts with established social following who want to share their expertise with the Selfmade community of women founders as well as the public should reach out to Selfmade with their cohort or course proposal.
Why We Are Launching Cohorts
Selfmade launched originally as a 10-week offering, running several times a year. This allowed our founders to build their business regardless of stage or business vertical alongside other women founders. In mid-2022, we expanded our program to be "always on" and Selfmade now takes place on an ongoing basis, and the program is entirely virtual (with regional local IRL meetups!) so founders can choose to join in-person for live sessions or at their own pace.
This change has allowed curious entrepreneurs from around the globe to sign up for our 24/7 business accelerator at anytime. This shift allows diverse founders to align their business goals with the pace of their engagement and unique timing without having to commit to a 10-week window that may or may not work for them.
After surveying our members for feedback, we're responding to the demand for more in-depth, collaborative workshops with this first round of offerings open for applying or booking now and below are teasers for two of our upcoming cohorts.
