As an entrepreneur, you need to understand the key elements of your business plan. But you don’t need to figure out all the answers by yourself—just ask Karen Greve Young, CEO of Futurpreneur.

Futurpreneur Canada has been fuelling the success of young Canadian entrepreneurs since 1996. It is the only national non-profit organization dedicated to providing financing, mentoring and support tools to aspiring business owners aged 18-39.
