Hear it from our past participants
START inspired me to think more intentionally, systematically, and creatively about my work.
I thought I would cringe when utilizing business terminology for religious endeavors. My experience was the opposite.
Thinking of community members as customers allowed me to put them at the forefront of my mind and my venture.
As clergy, we serve our people but we often get lost in the weeds. START reminded me, that the people come first.

START was everything I needed in my career. I gained a greater understanding of myself as a person, business owner, and creator. START gives participants access to amazing tools, information, and a framework for creating ventures that can be used time and time again.

This work can be very isolating. Spiritual entrepreneurship is spiritual when done relationally, and if anyone is looking to simply meet other faith-rooted entrepreneurs, Glean Network's START is it.
Eugene K., Founder
START helped me confidently launch my new venture. I found clarity and direction for my project and now feel part of a larger community of spiritual entrepreneurs.
