Futurpreneur Growth Accelerator – Canada

This is an exciting opportunity for Futurpreneurs to take their business to the next level. The Growth Accelerator connects a cohort of young entrepreneurs, across the country, enabling them to network, learn together and share ideas as they grow and pivot their businesses toward new heights of success.

Facilitated digitally again this year, with an in-person strategy pitch session in Toronto in April, the Growth Accelerator will provide insight and education on various aspects of a business throughout the course of the initiative.

Commencing in February 2023, the workshops this month will focus on Marketing:  Entrepreneurs will learn to create an implementable marketing strategy for their business. In March, the spotlight will fall on creating operational assets and how to implement/access them. Last but definitely not the least, Finance will be April’s focus: Entrepreneurs will be armed with heightened awareness of their current and future financial numbers to make appropriate financial forecasts and decisions.

The Futurpreneur Growth Accelerator can support you if your business is approximately 18 months to 3.5 years old. From strengthening your business strategy to identifying new market segments for your business, the Growth Accelerator workshops will culminate in a strategy pitch competition in Toronto. Judges from the title sponsor and partner, Spin Master, will be onsite and a cash award of up to $10,000 will be given to the entrepreneur who is able to best articulate their vision for growth.
