Agree on your next step
We’ll confirm whether Grow is the right fit, or help you find the program or partner that is.
Is Grow for a business that’s already trading?
Yes. Grow is designed for revenue-generating businesses ready to scale. It includes six months of intensive support followed by six months of lighter-touch support.
Is there a cost to take part?
Coaching, mentorship, and cohort programming carry no fee. Some later opportunities, like matched financing, an acquisition, or a student placement, may involve a contribution or ordinary business costs from you as you grow. Nothing like that happens without a clear conversation first.
Do I need to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident?
No. The program is open no matter your immigration or residency status.
Where in PEI is this available?
Across the Island: Charlottetown, Summerside, Montague, and rural communities, with hybrid and virtual options.
What happens after I apply?
A short intake conversation about your goals, stage, and needs. From there we match you to the tier and supports that fit.
