In partnership with the City of Phoenix Thrive is hosting a free 2-hour cooperative networking event for Arizona based cooperative entrepreneurs and technical assistance providers.

Per the community’s request, we have designed a networking event for aspiring and established Arizona-based cooperative entrepreneurs to gather and connect around the important work you all are doing to activate cooperative business model.

At the halfway point, we will be welcoming individuals and organizations that provide business technical assistance (TA) support. We would like to open this space up for the cooperative entrepreneurs to connect with the TA organizations and hopefully find pathways for increased connection and support.

With this event we aim to lay the ground for individuals, organizations and institutions can support the development and success of these value-based businesses in Arizona.
