Our mission
Less than 25% of entrepreneurs in Montréal are women and only 12% have a technological aspect. Startup Montréal wants to change these statistics by accompanying ambitious women towards the realization of their entrepreneurial dream. The FoundHers program focuses on both the development of human potential and the transformation of the idea into a business project.

A few weeks after I made the decision to start my own business, I attended Boostcamp with only my idea in mind. It was the very first event for entrepreneurs that I attended. It had the desired effect, I felt energized, ready to do anything to make a living from my business and become a successful entrepreneur.Florine Nottet, Founder and Director of the SYNERGILIBRE clinic
