Welcome to The Beanstalk. This cohort is about building a calm, reusable way to fund your work over the next 3 to 12 months, not scrambling for last-minute emergency money. Before our first live session, please: 1. Go to the Classroom and read “Start Here - Welcome to The Beanstalk” plus the Week 1 page. 2. In the comments on this post, share: • Your name and pronouns • A sentence or two about your project or practice • One thing you hope will feel easier about funding by the end of this cohort 3. Open the budget template in the Classroom and skim it so it feels familiar before Week 1.
