I must confess to be completely ignorant of Cooperative Agorism, however it sounds like you're right, and that is my feeling.
Ultimately we need the group, and we need individuals within the group to shine, for the betterment of said group.

Yes; for the betterment of the individual. That's egoism and the foundation of individualism. It's not just that others enjoy and benefit from me, but I personally enjoy and benefit from the company of others.
It's not that we should dogmatically always think or care "for" all other individuals --- no one should be expected or forced to "love" or support everyone --- , but to a certain extent it becomes necessary to think and care "about" the conditions that even the mostly uknown masses are actually in.
As long as this world is full of human beings, which hopefully it will always be, we're both going to need and actually want to look out for the bigger picture; Society --- and I mean a real society of freely interacting entities of course, not state enforced assimilation.
"Cooperative Agorism" is a radical strategy for implementing Anarcho-Capitalism and then maintaining it.
It is a strategy based on regular Agorism, but specifically emphazises the creation of volountary and volountarily interconnected (consciously->) Pro-Capitalist Cooperatives working (innovating &/ producing &/ investing) to outbuild the state from within --- utilizing any available white, grey or black markets as it best suits them -- and aiming both to profit monetarily and in other values from this, as well as to be capable of helping its members out in cases where life unexpectedly forces someone into a tough spot.
The entire bitcoin/blockchain community and many of it's project very much relate to Cooperative Agorism and regular Agorism in particular.
---This should come as no surprise, considering that a large portion of this community is made up of Anarcho-Capitalists and also that they enviroment naturally attracts tech savvy entrepreneurs with a desire to make some money, by contributing time and computing power to a paradigm changing experiment in decentralization.
