2025 BRED JUMPSTART – Baltimore, MD

We are excited to bring back this jam-packed day of workshops focused on establishing and running worker cooperatives. Whether you’ve been a worker-owner for years, are thinking about starting a co-op, want to sell your business to your workers, or just want to learn more, the BRED Jumpstart is for you! Cooperatively-minded workers will be able to learn the basics of cooperative structure and economics, get ideas on how to start or structure their own cooperative, and be able to Q&A with experienced worker-owners!

Past Co-op Jumpstarts have included panels with long-term worker-owners, in-depth information on how to get your business to “breakeven,” and a nuanced look at what happens with worker-owner governance.

For business owners looking to sell their business but avoid laying off workers, a new highlighted workshop is, information on cooperative conversions – there’s something for everyone. Organizations and individuals are welcome!!

Childcare will be available. Please fill out this form –> childcare by March 1, 2025

See you at the Jumpstart!!
