Developing the mindset and resilience of Canada’s high-performing entrepreneurs and elevating the craft of mentorship throughout the ecosystem
The path of entrepreneurship and mentorship can be difficult, and navigating all the complexities requires grit, resilience, adaptability, strength and an openness to learn.
At MindFrame Connect, our goal is to take away some of these complexities by providing a central place to learn, adapt and grow – both as an entrepreneur and mentor.
We are creating and piloting new evidence-based programming to complement current offerings in the Canadian ecosystem.
Program Offerings
High Performance/Resiliency: the behavioural aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship, not the skill set of venture building. How to thrive in chaos and stay agile, similar to how a professional athlete is trained.
Mentorship: providing mentors, coaches and founders with the skills and tools needed to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the relationship, and to help founders navigate the challenges of high-growth entrepreneurship.
These programs are symbiotic and mutually reinforcing, as the challenges faced by most founders and the critical role played by mentors often depend on developing the mindset, resilience and antifragility to overcome significant stress and pressure.
Each program stream will be anchored by expert evidence-based teachings and complemented by:
Masterclasses
Easily consumable and offered in a variety of formats (video, audio, digital)
Information & Resources
White labelled materials featuring workshops and toolkits detailing best practices, program frameworks and guides
Speaker Series
Hear real-time conversations from founders and mentors
Access to Expert Networks
Connect and learn from leaders in entrepreneurship and mentorship
Peer-to-Peer Support
Programs will launch Fall 2021

About
MindFrame Connect is focused on supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in startups and small-to-medium enterprises.
The Canadian startup ecosystem has developed numerous programs focused on the skills of venture building and connecting mentors to the most promising founders. However, gaps remain, including:
- Early-stage support for graduate students and researchers to foster the entrepreneurial mindset and develop the skills and resilience to thrive in the innovation economy.
- Training innovators to excel under pressure and to grow the leadership skills for building high-performance teams.
- Providing startup coaches with the insight and tools needed to maximize the effectiveness of mentorship.
Founded by leaders in academia, business, venture capital and entrepreneurship, we will operate much like a startup – adapting, testing and reiterating to meet the changing needs of entrepreneurs and mentors.
