Free*

Want to launch your business AND get a chance to win 500$?  

This dynamic, free* 4-part series will supercharge your entrepreneurial dreams! Led by experienced business coaches, you’ll receive guidance in refining your business concept and validating your business idea. At the core of our program is the Business Model Canvas: a visual tool that will help build the foundation of your business. You’ll learn how to outline key opportunities, identify activities and strategies, and understand initial financial projections for your business.  

Here’s the kicker! In the last session of the bootcamp, you’ll have the opportunity to pitch your idea and compete for a chance to win $500, generously provided by Desjardins Centre-ville. Note, to be eligible to win the $500, participants need to attend at least 3 out of 4 sessions and the pitch is mandatory.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to fuel your entrepreneurial journey.
