Chara Krangle and Vanessa Nicola were looking for a convenient way to eat healthfully on the go. The two friends put their heads together and came up with Oat Of The Ordinary, a line of single-serving oat products made with natural ingredients.

“We thought, ‘If we’re going to do this, we have to do it right,’” says Vanessa.

Futurpreneur connected them with a business development manager – who, Chara says, proved to be “an incredible source of support” – along with the funding, mentorship and resources needed to make their project a success.

We’ve supported thousands of small business owners like Chara and Vanessa, working with diverse entrepreneurs aged 18-39 to launch successful main street businesses that contribute to the vitality of communities across Canada.

Futurpreneur is the only national non-profit organization that provides financing, mentoring and resources to young entrepreneurs, helping them build a successful future while driving Canada’s inclusive economic prosperity.
