The Impact
Entrepreneurial Growth & Confidence
“ ONSIDE: Start Now Incubator Programs strengthened my foundation as a founder. The two things that stand out the most for me are my self-confidence as a founder and the sense of community engagement. As a founder, recognizing your own knowledge gaps is a strength, and ONSIDE helped me gain enough understanding of marketing, SEO, and financial literacy—not in exhaustive detail, but enough that I could confidently hold my own in conversations about my business. The content was approachable and easy to digest, and hearing concepts delivered in a new way often made everything click. It was truly empowering to be part of the program and apply what I learned immediately. ”

“ With founders being so spread out across Canada, the beautiful thing of ONSIDE: Start Now Incubator is it creates this nationwide feeling of camaraderie, because being a founder can be so isolating and lonely. When other people are having the same questions around marketing that I have, it’s like, okay, I’m not alone, and we can tackle that together. Some of the founders I participated with, I’m still close with even today. ”

Relatable Facilitators
Actionable, practical examples
“I really liked the facilitators because they were diverse and relatable. They didn’t give examples from unicorn startups that felt out of touch. Instead, they shared practical, beginner-level examples—like mom-and-pop shops or early-stage businesses—that matched my own founder journey. Having facilitators who understand my stage made the learning experience immediately useful and actionable.”
