Entrepreneurs in companies with global leadership, not just looking for success. The numbers speak for themselves since its launch in 2010, their companies have generated the astronomical figure close to one billion dorales, and nearly 500 successful companies not only in Canada, worldwide.

In its programs there are 4 fundamental programs, incubation, acceleration, eople of color entrepreneurship, and another one for women, I have really tried to understand the reason to put in plans that distinction, for eople of color? In my opinion it is out of place, the plans should be open whether you are black or white, male, female. The important thing is really the undertaking itself. I asked why? But I got no answer. I don't get it. But I will describe their plans or programs.
