About Us

Launched in 2015, EntreLaunch was developed with one goal: to support all current and future entrepreneurs build viable businesses. We want to help you find stability in the modern economy. 

Within our main goal are several subgoals.

Youth unemployment.

Youth unemployment is a huge issue with 73 million youth unemployed globally.  Many new graduates are unable to find satisfactory full-time positions when leaving school and thus become unemployed or work several part-time unskilled jobs just to make ends meet. Our programs provide youth with an opportunity to experience entrepreneurial learning and encourages entrepreneurship as a viable career option thus reducing youth unemployment levels and contributing to a stable economy. EntreLaunch is dedicated to helping high school students, college students and new graduates create their own future through entrepreneurship.

Women and those Re-entering Workforce

In addition to supporting and empowering female entrepreneurs, EntreLaunch is also seeking to support women and others re-entering the workforce. Many people who have been out of work due to child-rearing, illness or other reasons find it difficult to return to traditional careers. Outdated skills, new technology, inflexible schedules, expensive childcare and difficult commutes are just a few of the issues many women face when returning to work. EntreLaunch provides those re-entering the workforce with an alternative option – launching your own business.

Career Change

Frustrated with your current job? Downsized? Fired? Retired? Lacking hours? There are many reasons why someone may seek a career change. For many, the idea of changing careers to end up in a job you don’t like is daunting. Perhaps it’s time to think about what you love doing and create your own career as an entrepreneur. EntreLaunch’s Accelerator program takes you through the idea validation process to help you validate your business ideas early on and give you the skills you need to develop your own business.

EntreLaunch is currently offering the following:

  • Global Online Accelerator Program (beta)
  • Launcher Membership Community
  • Blog
  • My Entre Life podcast
  • Monthly/weekly live videocasts and Q & A sessions
  • Live workshops in Ottawa and Toronto (or by request)
  • Impact Cup – 3 day entrepreneurial challenge

You can also find us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+.
