Message from our co-founders

Let’s work together to empower women here.

The sky is the limit, but together, we can reach for the stars!

The path can sometimes be so challenging that we cannot cross it alone. But every journey reaches its destination when we find support during the storm. When geese take flight, they travel in a V-formation. Together, they fly faster and face the elements more effectively.

Each one takes its turn leading the formation, always ensuring support for those who are injured or unwell. By helping one another, they reach their goal. This solidarity inspired the Let’s Start Up Pathway, as we believe that we too are stronger together.

Through our programs, we seek to help women take flight and support those facing challenges, so we can journey together toward the same goal. This ultimate destination is self-fulfillment, financial independence, and the freedom to make empowered choices.

MARIE-ÈVE

Graduate of the Entrepreneurship Program

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Sherbrooke and Toronto. More than 300 women a year are committed to taking action through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. They graduate with a better understanding of their strengths and skills, as well as the knowledge and tools to implement their professional project. Women thus begin a new journey towards financial independence through entrepreneurship, a return to school or a more fulfilling job.
