“Adaptive: flexible and responsive to changing business needs.
Human: as opposed to industrial.
Concrete: anchored in action, results as opposed to academic processes.”

“Sanctuary: for all early-stage founders who face lots of challenges with their journey, they need to talk with someone. My mentors at La Foundry have always had a fair hearing to listen to founders.
Resourceful: My mentors leverage their network to assist me in reaching out to other resources, which is vital for many startups
Patient: Indeed, they are patient and kind, which know no boundaries, and their support goes beyond their commitments to only the work-related tasks for the startups. In other words, my mentors are also my coaches.
Hope it helps, however, words are not able to depict what you are. Many thanks for your amazing support and congratulations to Desiardins for having such valuable people in their team.”

CEO, Applicare

“3 words :
Unconditional support
Unlocking
A reliable network connection

Without La Foundry, the road would have been a lonely and difficult one.

Without La Foundry I’d probably still be looking for someone willing to work with a garage contractor like me. With La Foundry, all their connections were followed through. That’s why I’ll always trust their ability to put me in touch with the right people who can help me.

What La Foundry has offered me that no other program can is support over a long period of time that really addresses the issues I’m facing at any given time.”
