“Incredibly Valuable”

The program was incredibly valuable—helping us strengthen our vision, refine our next steps, and connect with an inspiring group of local entrepreneurs and mentors. We’re especially grateful for the opportunity to be out in the community, meeting with birthing parents, hearing their stories, and learning more about what’s truly needed during pregnancy and postpartum. These conversations continue to shape The Harbour in the most meaningful ways.

“Game changer”

I’ve had the chance to take part in the Genesis Evolve program and it’s been an absolute game-changer. From weekly workshops to pitch prep to real feedback from industry pros, Evolve helped me grow not just my venture, but my mindset. I walked in with an idea. I’m walking out with a clearer vision, stronger strategy, and the fire to keep building. Big thank you to the amazing people at Genesis and the mentors who challenged and supported me along the way.

“To put it simply, it was amazing.”

I applied to and got accepted in Genesis’ Evolve program as part of the Spring 2025 cohort. To put it simply, it was amazing. Mentorship can never be overemphasized and over six weeks, the teachings and mentoring from the Genesis team was perspective shifting and maybe, idea pivoting! as I continue to trudge deeper into entrepreneurship, the knowledge gained through this experience will play a key role in some of the actions and decisions I take and make!
