Talk to an Expert - Mentoring
Every great entrepreneur can point to several coffee chats that opened doors, sparked ideas, and formed important new relationships. This is why the Brampton Entrepreneur Centre is excited announce a new way that entrepreneurs, small business owners, corporate partners and students can connect to ask questions, share ideas and form new professional relationships. We have partnered with TenThousandCoffees.com, an online mentoring and networking platform that connects members with similar interests for coffee (or tea)! A coffee is a simple and fun way to meet, engage, and learn from those in the Brampton small business community.
Our goal is to provide a simple, accessible and modern way for business people to connect on shared interests, and provide a new avenue for valuable knowledge transfer in Brampton.
