My name is Matthew. My experience with Italia360 was positive and pivotal. Pivotal both to Learn Rewards and my own personal entrepreneurial experience The chance to connect with REAL Founders both those in the program and those who were mentors and community partners. It was a lot of fun but also gave me and my team the chance to showcase our work on Learn Rewards. From that showcase and networking, we continued working, just at the back-half of the program we launched our first public version of the Learn Rewards Student and Vendor Apps. We are currently making great strides in community engagement and have been building our user base. The team is working great and are still working with contacts made from the program. From this program I learned lots, as far as the most important things I learned from working through this program was to find trusted contacts and really ask them good questions. I also learned that the more time you spend talking with other Founders and community members, the more you will learn about yourself and the better products you will build.

Starting a business and going down the path of entrepreneurship can feel daunting! If you feel this way, and have an idea, but want additional mentorship and advice for things to consider as you look ahead in your business, then Italia 360 is the program for you. I decided to apply for the Italia 360 program to develop my business plan, yet I left with so much more! The most valuable part of the program, in my opinion, is access to the vast CIBPA Toronto and DMZ networks, where you can connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and receive endless advice and thought-provoking questions and insight into how to grow your business thoughtfully and sustainably. I have currently taken a pause on launching my retail business to focus on family, and am planning to resume in time, armed with all of the learnings from this program. My advice to you would be - talk to as many people as possible about your idea, ask questions, don’t be afraid to change direction and evolve your business/idea based on those conversations. Enjoy!

During my time with Italia360, I had the opportunity to develop and refine my health and wellness business for seniors, gaining invaluable insights into entrepreneurship, marketing, pitching and community engagement. The program provided mentorship, networking opportunities, and hands-on experience that helped me structure my pitch and business model. Italia 360 not only offered me a space to build my business idea but also a place to grow as an entrepreneur and more importantly as an individual. I learned to recognize the value in my ideas and to be confident that the issues I want to solve are important. I started the program having no business or entrepreneurship experience, and since completing the program, I’ve been inspired to continue delving into the world of entrepreneurship through competitions that aim to come up with ideas that can solve the world's biggest problems. My advice to incoming participants is to take full advantage of the mentorship and resources available: ask questions, seek feedback, and stay open to new ideas. The connections you make and the skills you develop will be instrumental in your journey.
