District 3 validated my idea and provided new skills, making me feel like I belong. Their virtual and physical spaces offer mentorship and inspiration from other startups, creating a supportive community focused on social impact.
Anne-Pascale Ménard

I find that as a solo entrepreneur, the road is really lonely at times. Surrounding yourself and being in spaces with other entrepreneurs, having friends that also have businesses, really, really helps.
Marie-Claire Hamel
Ozex
Founder
I had this idea that we need to raise millions of dollars. My coach was Julie, and she was telling me, be calm, try to build a good business, not just raise money. You want to develop a product that has value for your users.

I had been a scientist all my life. Patents and papers have a major impact only when they become a product, therapy or tool. I’ve grown tremendously since, thanks to the right support to guide me along my entrepreneurial journey.
