The Fireweed Fellowship

The Fireweed Fellowship is the first national accelerator program for Indigenous entrepreneurship in what is currently known as Canada. The program consists of a 10-month-long, immersive, cohort-style fellowship program combining online educational sessions, self-directed on-the-land learning, and leadership development. Additionally, the program offers peer support, one-on-one coaching, mentorship, pro-bono professional services as well as investment-readiness preparation. This program is co-created with, and informed by, knowledge keepers, business leaders, and an Indigenous program team. Programming examines alternative economic models and perspectives and is guided by the inherent wisdom and deep knowing of ancestors.
