READY TO START YOUR BUSINESS?
Kathryn Corbiere, of @One Kwe Modern Fabrications, is an Ojibwe entrepreneur from the M'Chigeeng First Nation. Corbiere got her start working out of her garage and completing projects at her parents’ coffee table – now, she runs a successful welding business and passes on her skills to other women in the community through workshops and training.
At Futurpreneur Canada, we support Indigenous entrepreneurs aged 18-39, helping them launch or buy their own business. With up to $60,000* in financing, an expert mentor for up to two years, and access to resources, we’re here to help young entrepreneurs bring their business plan to life.
