The support program
At La Ruche Chaleur, we favour a progressive and structured approach. The journey generally begins with the cohort program, which allows participants to clarify their idea, structure their project and better understand the business environment in New Brunswick.
Following this group program, entrepreneurs whose projects are in the launch phase or already well underway can continue with individual mentoring to refine their strategic decisions and accelerate their development. Depending on the project's stage of development, direct access to mentoring may be offered.
