It’s easy to feel alone as an entrepreneur, but Stephanie Fontaine wants you to know you aren’t.

Stephanie Fontaine is the Country Director for WEConnect International in Canada. A well-known leader in the supplier diversity community, Stephanie has spent the last 7 years working closely with entrepreneurs, corporations, not for profit organizations and government to increase procurement opportunities for diverse suppliers. As a business owner herself, Stephanie knows the importance a small gesture of support can make and she has long been committed to empowering entrepreneurs through sharing of knowledge and connections.

“Realize that you are not alone on your entrepreneurship journey. There are so many resources out there, but you have to ask and align with resources that work for your business strategy.”

On this week’s THRIVE Podcast, sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada and Scotiabank, Stephanie talks about connecting with the resources that are right for you, and cutting yourself into supply chains.
