Atlantic Region Startup Award Winners 2018
Startup Greater Moncton congratulates all the award winners with their achievements. A job well done!
And to all entrepreneurs out there, we would like to echo Lisa Williams’ words, who during the event said: “Entrepreneurship to me, means dream big, start small, but just start!”.
So, if you haven’t started yet, just start; no matter how small. A lot of small steps still make a big step forward. And if you have already started, keep going!
We hope to see you at our next networking event on July 26 to talk about your journeys and steps. Stay tuned for more information!
