About
A table, a clock, and people who expect to see your work
Co-Build Table is a building group that meets in a coffee shop for two hours on select weekday afternoons. Some people are working a job search; others are drafting a business model, a website, or an app.
The tracks differ; the discipline is the same. Name one outcome, work it in the open, and report what actually moved before you pack up.
It grew out of a simple observation: the people most capable of starting something have the least unclaimed time and the fewest people asking how the idea is going. This gives them both, on a schedule, for the price of a coffee.

Our vision
Empowering the next generation of builders
To support consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want more control over their time and career — providing the tools, frameworks, and community needed to build sustainable, impactful ventures.
Founder's story
Building ventures with purpose and principle
For over 20 years, Cory Roberson has worked to empower entrepreneurs, students, and professionals building ventures with lasting impact. As a businessman, investor, social entrepreneur, and author, he brings two decades in investment management, where he has pushed for transparency, accountability, and ethical practice.
He has contributed to more than ten community service and educational programs across California, New Orleans, Brazil, China, South Korea, Thailand, and South Africa. His book From Student to Entrepreneur lays out a framework for turning ideas into purposeful ventures, and his church volunteering has spanned youth and homeless ministry.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
Co-Build Table applies that same product and service development background at a much smaller scale: one table, one afternoon, one increment of the thing you said you'd start.
Track record
Where the tracks come from: the FIN Group project
When people ask who Cory is and what he's actually done, the shortest answer is FIN Group — the compliance and RegTech venture he runs at fincompliance.io. It serves investment advisers and financial firms with compliance consulting, technology, and education built around transparency and ethical practice.
FIN Group went through every step this table asks you to take: define the customer, price the offer, write the plan, brand it, ship the site, build the product, find the first clients. The four tracks aren't theory — they're the sequence he has run himself and with the founders he mentors.
That's the authority behind the table: not a course, but an operator still doing the unglamorous middle of venture building, sitting next to you.

In the field
The same work, in rooms like this one
Community programs, workshops, and mentorship sessions that came before the table — the coffee shop version is simply the smallest, most repeatable form of the same work.
