Let’s have a conversation
Our team talks with you about your goals, experience, and needs. Bring your questions, even the early ones.
Agree on your next step
We’ll confirm whether Navigate is the right fit, or help you find the program or partner that is.
Do I have to know which program I want?
No. That’s exactly why Navigate exists. We’ll talk through your goals, experience, and business stage, then help you identify the right program or partner.
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?
