Mentorship is essential for any entrepreneur, no matter what stage they are in.<\/p>\n

However, it is especially important during the beginning stages of starting a company when the consequences of making a mistake can be much higher. Mentorship can give entrepreneurs the advantage of learning from entrepreneurs that came before them.<\/p>\n

In Qu\u00e9bec, a few of our wonderful local volunteer business mentors are also acting as ambassadors to further support our entrepreneurs and new mentors. Enthusiastic, engaged and filled with knowledge, these mentor-ambassadors are actively representing Futurpreneur in their specific region.<\/p>\n

Meet our Qu\u00e9bec mentor-ambassadors!<\/p>\n
