Help for Makers
A collection of business resources
for creative entrepreneurs
WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN BETTER TOGETHER.
In the wake of COVID-19, Makers Collective is here to help untangle and clarify the ever-changing stream of information and ideas currently inundating the web.
These are uncharted waters for us all as we look to rebuild, to shift, to adapt. We've created a central point where you can find clear information, hopeful vision for the future, and careful thought in how to grow from hardship. A deep breath, a starting point.
We pledge to provide you with a foundation of reliable, updated resources during these shifting times. Links will include curated reposts from around the web as well as content created by Makers Collective and our incredible community.
