Description
New Roots, New Routes, a specialized six-week program, will equip participants who are new to the region with the knowledge, skills, and networks essential for launching and scaling a successful venture in the Canadian context.
The program features instruction and mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts across Simcoe County. Each session will guide participants through topics such as customer discovery, crafting a compelling value proposition, financial and legal fundamentals, marketing and branding, and personal development—all tailored to support the challenges and opportunities faced by newcomer entrepreneurs. The program will culminate with a final pitch session, where participants will get to present their business concepts and one entrepreneur will be awarded a $2,000 grand prize to advance their venture.
