Napoleon Hill
Think & Grow Rich

"The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people who work toward a definite purpose in the spirit of harmony. "

Effective Networking

After the presentation is held, you are presented a network workshop unlike any other. The York Mastermind Program believes that networking is not just about collecting contact information or growing your LinkedIn profile. Rather, it must emphasize building relationships with like-minded people through organic discussion and open communication.

The Program upholds this idea by uniting local entrepreneurs, such as yourself, in open roundtable discussions that address real world business challenges that you and your peers are currently dealing with. After these challenges are explored, they can be collaboratively addressed at the roundtables. This allows the opportunity for solutions to be raised, or invaluable insights to be given.

By helping your community, your community helps you to take your business initiatives to new heights.

The monthly events are broken up into several main sections:

6:30 – 7:00 pm | Registration/Intro Games/Food and Refreshments –
7:00 – 7:15 pm | Speakers 
7:15 – 7:30 pm | Q&A
7:30 – 8:30 pm | Networking Roundtables 

This collaborative forum of networking will help local entrepreneurs beyond just building a network; it is designed to help build long-term relationships within the local business community.

This program has been established in partnership with the Vaughan Business Enterprise Centre (VBEC) and Startup York.
