Meet our Starter Company Plus Grant Winners!
In October 2023, the Halton Small Business Centre kicked off its fall 2023 cohort of the Starter Company Plus program. The program supports aspiring entrepreneurs looking to launch or build their small businesses in Halton. The program provides training, mentoring, and an opportunity to receive a micro-grant to help run their business. Program participants submitted their business plans for review and a chance to be selected to pitch in front of a panel of judges to win five grants.
Of the pitches, these successful entrepreneurs were selected to receive a grant of $5,000 to start and grow their businesses. Let’s meet our grant winners!

Alexander Adams – Hockey Knowledge Consulting (Oakville)
Rachel Watson – You, Me and a Laser (Burlington)
George Zeng – Nostalgia Games Café (Burlington)
Craig Totten – N44 Studio (Halton Hills)
We would also like to congratulate and thank the other 5 participants for participating in the pitch competition where they each received a runner up grant of $500

Curtis Medina – Full Circle Health and Fitness (Milton)
