Our Program Alumni

Our alumni are high-growth businesses across diverse industries. One thing they all have in common? They are building world-class businesses right here in the Georgian Bay area.

  • “The guidance we received from the GB Accelerator helped change our processes, corporate structure, discover new opportunities and improve how we manage our business.”

    Max - Shop Solar Kits

  • “Paying it forward to the next generation is a concept that is often spoken of but rarely put into action. It is undeniably challenging to find individuals who genuinely believe in your potential and mentors who are committed to guiding your personal and professional growth. In many ways, this is why I started Youthfully—to bridge this gap. As an entrepreneur, Peter and the GBA have been that mentor for me. They have provided an exceptional level of support, and all emerging Canadian startups should work with them.”

    Joel - Youthfully

  • "The coaching value was being able to have higher-order, strategic, and honest dialogue that can't happen inside the current organization. The program was an opportunity to pressure test and ensure key decisions are being viewed 360."

    Jon - Originality.AI

  • " We were at a pivotal moment in our start-up where we knew we needed an outside perspective to leverage our first 2 years of learning. Our mentor and lead coach from the GBA played a critical role in our growth and scale strategy."

    Jessica - YOU Power Project

  • "I honestly don’t have anything negative to share about the program. The support, mentorship, and resources provided were exactly what I needed at this stage in ELLUSTRÖS’ journey. If anything, continuing to expand the network of mentors and industry connections for future participants would be a great enhancement. The program has been a very positive experience, and I appreciate all the effort that went into making it so successful."

    Diana - ELLUSTRÖS

  • “What I did not expect was how much the program would change the way I think. The mentors pushed me to slow down, build properly, and approach growth with more intention. If you are a founder who is moving fast and needs the right people in your corner to help you build a real foundation underneath it — this is the program for you.”

    Kourtney - Barking Brew

  • “We've been part of many accelerators. Honestly, none of them gave us what GBA did. What we were missing everywhere else was simple: active advisors. Real involvement from mentors. Not check-ins. Not light touches. Actual engagement. GBA filled that gap.”

    Sohaib - Medozai
