The 2024 Concordia Grant awarded to Chloé Seyrès, founder of Skatespace 

For the fourth consecutive year, Concordia University has launched the Concordia Grant, which recognizes an entrepreneur from the Let’s Start Up Pathway of the Lise Watier Foundation who has distinguished herself through the strength of her business project. This year, the jury selected Chloé Seyrès, founder of Skatespace, a roller-skating school based in Montreal. 

With this $5,000 grant, Chloé will be able to realize her ambitious projects: developing an educational program to train new instructors, expanding her team, and diversifying the courses offered by Skatespace. In the long term, she aspires to open satellite schools to share her passion for roller-skating across the world. 

We warmly thank Concordia University for their unwavering support, as well as the jury for their involvement and hard work in this selection. Congratulations, Chloé, on this well-deserved recognition!

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Journey 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 Journey. 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.
