Incubator participants are matched with senior executives from Start Proud’s Proud Partner network for personalized guidance, sponsorship, and career advancement support.
Participants receive executive coaching and participate in skill-building sessions to prepare for leadership roles in their organizations and industries.
The program facilitates meaningful connections with decision-makers, change agents, and industry leaders who champion equity and inclusion.
We select a small, high-performing group of 2SLGBTQIA+ students and early-career professionals who are ready to accelerate their leadership journeys. Participants are chosen for their ambition, impact, and potential to lead with authenticity.
With just 10 spots in our 2025 cohort, this is one of Start Proud’s most competitive programs. If selected, you’ll gain access to senior executive mentorship, curated leadership coaching, and national visibility.
The Leadership Incubator isn’t just about professional development it’s about creating pathways to leadership for underrepresented voices. By investing in the next generation of 2SLGBTQIA+ trailblazers, we’re ensuring a more inclusive future across Canadian industries.
