From early stage to international

Early Stage

Startup

Growth

Let’s solidify the foundations of your business!

During this phase, you will define the identity elements that will form the foundations of your business. Creativity, open-mindedness, an ability to learn, and passion will allow you to develop your business model and your first market study, validate your product with the “early adopters,” and structure your organization.

Let’s identify and realize your business opportunities!

During this phase, you will focus on executing your action plan, and you will have to go through a period of great turbulence. Perseverance, patience, resilience, and adaptability will allow you, in particular, to develop the commercial version of your product, realize sales with your first customers, conduct a first round of financing, and significantly increase the knowledge of your competitive environment.

CDPQ Program - Expansion Strategies

During the growth phase, you will experience a pivot of structural and organizational changes in your life and that of your business. This transition will ensure the success and prosperity of your organization. Boldness, motivation, determination, and proactiveness will allow you to structure the marketing/sales strategy, the production unit, and the HR management, as well as break into new markets and access major financing.
