Heroes who help

Did you know that a mentor is one of the greatest secret weapons an entrepreneur can have today?

The goal of many artists is to build a career grown from their passion for the craft, but it’s not always clear where to start and how to sustain a profitable income stream.

Airdrie’s SMARTstart program offers tools, training, mentorship and business planning to a new group of entrepreneurs each year. One of the biggest benefits of SMARTstart is the mentorship – participants are matched with a local business volunteer.
