Serving newcomers and aspiring youth entrepreneurs
From 2015, OIN looked for new ways to serve newcomers and aspiring youth entrepreneurs, and found one in the FLY app, which launched in 2016 and is now archived.
2010 to 2014
Business succession for newcomers
Previous to 2015, OIN worked to help communities by connecting their existing entrepreneurs to newcomers looking for business ownership opportunities.
The mandate was beyond enabling transactions; it was to create long-term success for newcomers by offering the necessary supports pre and post business sale.
