Offered by Launch Lab
When you know where you want to take your business but need experienced guidance to get there, Launch Lab — Advisor Support offers a practical way to fill those gaps without bringing on new hires. This program is designed for Canadian business owners who want to stay hands-on while accessing seasoned advice in areas like financial planning, fundraising, product scaling, and strategic decision-making. Rather than collaboration or done-for-you services, the focus is on helping you build clarity and confidence to execute yourself.
Through Launch Lab, businesses are matched with an advisor whose background aligns with their industry and challenges. Advisors bring real-world experience from fields such as software, telecommunications, marketing, and government relations, making the support especially valuable for founders navigating growth or transition points. Sessions can be held virtually or in person when appropriate, allowing flexibility for businesses across Canada. Because the service is subsidized by government support, there is no cost to participate, making this a form of non-repayable support that can deliver meaningful value without impacting cash flow.
Launch Lab — Advisor Support is well suited for entrepreneurs who have specific goals, targeted questions, or short-term expertise needs while they build out their management team. For business owners considering whether this type of tailored advisory support fits their current stage, reviewing the full program details can help clarify next steps.
