Welcome to CO—. Wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey, we hope you’ll find advice, ideas and solutions to your most pressing business challenges.
We created CO— to bring together America’s driven and passionate business owners who have a shared desire to thrive and grow their companies. We will be working hard to bring you the most urgent and relevant insights and advice from CEOs, business leaders and forward-thinking experts in ways that resonate with you. Our goal is to constantly find new ways to help you fortify your growth strategy.
Empowering businesses is what the Chamber has been known for since its very beginning and it’s still at the core of who we are today. CO— is part of our broader commitment to helping small businesses in ways that are innovative and inspiring, with a focus on real-world tactics for achieving success.
Why CO—?
We decided to call the site CO— because it speaks to all of our aspirations for what we hope this new digital platform will be. Here’s what we mean...
CO— is Compelling
CO— focuses on three landmark moments in the life of every business by dividing our content into three main categories: Start, Run and Grow. Our content is customized to address the needs of businesses in each of these phases. We created it with those needs in mind and our goal is to keep our content specific enough to be useful when trying to tackle a particular challenge.
CO— is Connection
By leveraging the strengths and membership of the Chamber, CO— is a place to connect business leaders with entrepreneurs hoping to learn from their experiences, successes and failures. Our “Good Company” section will bring you together with other small business owners, well-known CEOs and experts on everything from accounting to social media in a forum to exchange ideas and advice. It is our hope that by connecting here, we will inspire and learn from each other and build a community of businesses working towards the same goals.
CO— helps business owners navigate the complexities of growing a business with timely, fiercely relevant content.
Justin Waller, CMO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
CO— is Collaboration
Much of the content we create on CO— will be inspired by you, the reader. Your ideas, questions and concerns will be translated into content of all types and we encourage you to share your feedback often. We’d love to hear about the challenges you’re facing, inspiring businesses we should feature, and big ideas you think we’re all going to be talking about soon.
CO— is Coming to you
CO— is also partnering closely with the Chamber’s Small Business Series - a series of live events throughout the U.S. where small business owners and experts come together to learn, network and discover all they have in common. We will bring you the stories and profiles of series speakers to connect you with them before and after each event.
So, welcome to CO—. We hope you’ll look around and visit often. Most importantly, we hope you’ll let us know how we’re doing. You can let us know by emailing co@uschamber.com. We, like you, are learning as we grow. We looking forward to doing it together.
CO— aims to bring you inspiration from leading respected experts. However, before making any business decision, you should consult a professional who can advise you based on your individual situation. Check out our launch video:
