CougsFirst! is an independent business network built to activate the power of the Cougar community. We connect Coug-owned and Coug-connected businesses with the people, relationships, and opportunities that help them grow through referrals, visibility, and meaningful connections.
At its core, CougsFirst! exists to help more Cougs do business with more Cougs.
Our directory, events, partnerships, and programming are designed to make it easier for Cougs to hire, buy from, support, and recommend each other.
This isn’t traditional networking. It’s a trusted ecosystem built on shared experience, real relationships, and a willingness to show up for each other.
Today, the CougsFirst! network reaches thousands of Cougs across Washington and beyond, bringing together business owners, professionals, students, alumni, and partners who believe in supporting the Cougar community in tangible ways.
