Online mentoring to help build and inspire women-led businesses across Canada

I want to share with you a free mentorship opportunity available for women-identifying entrepreneurs specifically those who are starting a business in Canada.

Startup Canada has created a program called Startup Women connecting women-identifying entrepreneurs with expert mentors, private sector partners, and startup support to find guidance to build their business across various industries in the early stages of their business.

“The entrepreneurship journey can be a long and difficult one for women founders—but with the help of connections, we can all play a role in helping each other achieve success.”
