Opportunity for Aspiring Entrepreneurs in Oxford
- Published: November 28, 2022
The Dream Business Program focuses on making the idea of entrepreneurship more approachable. It provides participants with valuable tools and resources to help them figure out the business model around their idea. Participants will receive 1:1 coaching opportunities and access to new connections with other entrepreneurs and become part of the Mashup Community, which provides continued support after completion of the Program. Thanks to the help of the Provincial Government, the Program is free to rural residents in Nova Scotia.
The sessions begin in November 2022 and run once a week for six weeks. Participants will receive 1:1 coaching opportunities, new connections with other entrepreneurs and access to the Mashup Community, which provides continued support after completion of the Program. Your residents can register for the Program at MASHUP LAB.
You can find us on Facebook and LinkedIn to learn more about us and easily share posts on this or another program we deliver. If you'd like to learn more about Mashup Lab, the founder, Andrew Button, describes what we are all about in this short video - Unleash Rural Potential.
