The Costarter program’s backing, both in terms of funding and mentorship, is a game-changer for us. It not only paves the way for us to achieve critical milestones, but it also allows us to fine-tune our platform, making it even more efficient and user-friendly. Our commitment lies in creating a platform that doesn’t just serve skilled workers but also caters to the needs of those seeking their services, making it easier for communities to access the expertise they require.

At the end of this intensive period, one company in each community will have the chance to receive a substantial $250,000 investment to scale their operations. This investment, made possible through the unwavering support of regional economic development organizations, will propel Woblu to new heights.
For us, this opportunity is about more than just financial support; it’s about turning our vision into a reality that will enrich our local community. We take immense pride in being part of the Costarter program, and we are resolute in giving our all to maximize this transformative experience.
