START UP is a national American docu-series television show created by Gary Bredow.

The series is produced by Jenny Feterovich and Gary Bredow and is broadcast by public television stations.

His father had lost his pension and retirement benefits, and Bredow noticed that many of the people around him were deciding to pursue their own business versus seeking new employment.

Bredow called on friend and producer Jenny Feterovich to partner with him on the series.

Now entering their 13th season, Bredow says "We really want to do this as long as humanly possible, and we'll never run out of fascinating stories."
