"The challenge was my confidence, but also needing to know how to set up a business, not just the paperwork side of it."
💡In her recent interview, University of Manitoba staff member Selena Randall opened up about transitioning from a passionate dog owner to launching Insight Canine Behaviour Solutions. 🐾 While she knew canine psychology, navigating client acquisition and backend operations while working full-time was a major hurdle.
Everything changed when she registered for the free, six-week virtual "How to Start a Side Hustle" course at the Stu Clark Centre for Entrepreneurship. She gained the exact tools and confidence needed to build a sustainable online venture around her day job.
Ready to turn your own hidden passion into a business? The next cohort is open for registration now!

"I was a shy kid my whole life, but when I saw this opportunity come up, I knew I had to go for it," shares UM alum Emily Thoroski. "Don't be afraid --> just go for it."

AI is becoming an important part of every entrepreneur’s toolkit, but knowing when and how to use it effectively is what makes the difference.
AI is more than just a tool for writing emails or creating content. Used thoughtfully, it can help founders research markets, understand customers, test ideas, streamline operations, and make better decisions.
Join us for AI as Your Startup Superpower with David Owasi, founder of OutreachGenius and University of Manitoba alumnus.
In this practical session, David will share how early-stage founders can use AI as a startup assistant while keeping critical thinking and human judgment at the centre.
Whether you’re exploring a business idea or already building your venture, this session will give you practical ways to make AI work for you.
