We are guided by three mentors from MentorConnect. They have supported our evolution and pivots, asking the tough questions that have led us to make better decisions.
Eric Normandeau
RecharjME
Founder
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
Cedulify
Founder
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.
Behnam Farsi
CanApply

At District 3, we were challenged constantly. The one-on-one coaching transformed us from two people with a good idea into a business with clear strategy, mission, and vision.
Erika Braithwaite

Success is deeply personal for me. It’s about making a meaningful impact, helping others, and achieving financial stability. Equally important is the personal growth that comes from this journey, shaping who I am.
Bishakh Rout

Dilan Jaunky
GC LipidTech

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.
