Profile picture for Rachel Starr

Rachel Starr

Hi friends! I'm Rachel Starr – founder of coCreator Society and community strategist with 20+ years of helping creators build thriving businesses and communities.

I'm basically Leslie Knope with tech skills, turning complex community challenges into strategic solutions. From my podcast "Your Community Strategist" to building The Co-Op community, I'm all about helping creators connect, collaborate, and grow without the overwhelm.

When I'm not building platforms that actually work for people, you'll find me on the ski slopes, caffeinating heavily, or wrangling two awesome teenagers. I believe the best business happens when great people find each other – which is exactly why coCreator Society exists.

Here's to new adventures, epic collaborations, and really good coffee!
