Congratulations to three of our Starter Company Plus alumni on being named recipients of this year's 23rd Annual Niagara 40 Under Forty Business Achievement Awards! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Carly Brenton (Paperscript), Katrina Stuppiello-Streiss (The Profit Gals), and Eleanor Pineau (Myco Pet) on this well-deserved recognition. Their businesses may be very different, but they share a common thread: exceptional leadership, innovation, and a commitment to building something remarkable.

We're proud to have been a part of their entrepreneurial journey and excited to see their continued success across Niagara.

We’d also like to extend our congratulations to all of the other St. Catharines recipients who were recognized this year! Your hard work and contributions are making a real impact across our community.
