We helped 100 Black food entrepreneurs start or scale their businesses, and now we’re ready to assist a new crop of hopefuls in turning their idea into reality.

Kicking off Monday, January 30th, applications for cohort 3 open. What does this mean? If you are a Black entrepreneur looking to start or scale your food business, you can apply to be one of 50 individuals in our Advisor-Led Start and Scale Support Paths.

In the time it takes to birth a child (give or take nine months), participants are provided with the access necessary to work on crucial aspects of the food business. What kind of access? You will work with subject-matter experts to develop strategies, assets, and processes you can implement in your business in real-time. Sessions are in a group, and 1:1 formats are delivered virtually.

How much will this incredible opportunity cost you? As a project funded by the federal economic development agency for Southern Ontario, there is no cost to apply or participate. Our funding means every participant will have over 17k dollars of resources and industry opportunities invested into their development with us in the path.

Are you interested in getting more info? Please register for one of our upcoming info sessions, or apply now. Applications are open until February 28th, 2023, at 11:59 pm ET⁠.
