True North Co-op

Women-led, community-backed, and future-focused, we exist to center voices historically excluded from the business world and create structures that prioritize care, collaboration, and power-sharing. Our programs are designed for women, trans, and non-binary entrepreneurs who want to build on their own terms, free from the toxic hustle culture that dominates startup spaces. We offer flexible funding, trauma-informed coaching, and leadership training that draws on lived experience rather than rigid corporate templates. We believe you don’t have to choose between ambition and wellbeing — you can grow something meaningful while staying grounded and whole. From collective childcare stipends to anti-oppression business planning, our supports are crafted to meet the realities of our community. We work with founders building everything from social justice media companies to regenerative farms, ensuring each receives the resources and confidence they need to flourish. At our core, we exist to build the business world we wish we had — one where no one has to burn out just to be seen.
