Community Cohorts
Whether you're new to the circular economy or already deep in it, our cohorts are a place to connect with others figuring it out too. Share what's working, learn from people in different industries, find potential partners, and get inspired by what's possible. We offer cohorts 2-3x annually.
-
Our cohorts are highly interactive and learning-focused groups that meet once per week for the duration of a podcast season, usually 6 weeks. Each session fosters trust-building, sharing, networking, and community amongst members.
Each cohort has the following goals:
Provide industry-specific networking and community building
Spark imaginations by sharing examples of what’s possible
Cross-pollinate and fuel curiosity by learning from the diverse member group and the sectors they represent
Expand our views of the circular economy (trends, models, highlights)
-
These cohorts are open to everyone — no matter your industry, organization, or where you are in your circular journey. If you're curious, you're welcome. Some past members have included:
Brands, retailers & start-ups
Service providers
Nonprofits & community organizations
Researchers, consultants & academics
Government agencies
Recent graduates
-
We offer cohorts 2-3 times a year, while dates vary, we typically offer a winter, late spring, and fall cohort.
Each cohort meets on Wednesdays at 12pm ET for 6 weeks.
-
We charge $250 for individuals and $550 for businesses or folks representing businesses or larger organizations.
We want interested and passionate people to join, so if cost is a barrier please reach out and we can work with you.
-
If you’re unable to attend all the sessions during the cohort, you are welcome to send a colleague in your place.
Sessions are standalone and not built off the content from previous sessions. Missing a session will not negatively impact in any way your participation in the cohort.
-
We abide by a pretty standard schedule for each session:
Housekeeping
Two rounds of speed networking (9 min one-on-one meetings with either randomly assigned cohort members or members of your choosing)
Small group breakout discussions (around 4-5 members, using guiding questions we develop to help get the conversations moving)
Full group final popcorn thoughts, challenges or feedback, larger group questions, general open discussion
See you next week!
