What members say about us

Entrepreneurs are at the heart of BizConnect Caribbean. Here’s what our Founding Members have to say about why they joined and what this movement means to them.

As the project’s Accountant, I understand the importance of sustainability and accountability in making BizConnect Caribbean a success. That’s why I pre-registered as a Founding Member myself (on August 28th, 2025)—to demonstrate that I fully believe in the vision and financial model we’re building. This symbolic contribution shows that we, as a team, are not only managing this project but are also invested in it personally. Together, we’re laying a foundation for growth that will benefit entrepreneurs for years to come.

Clyelle Flavius

Accountant, BizConnect Caribbean

For me, pre-registering and becoming a Founding Member is more than just supporting BizConnect Caribbean—it’s about being part of history. I’ve seen firsthand how entrepreneurs in Saint Lucia and across the OECS struggle to get visibility and access to opportunities. By joining as a Founding Member on August 29th, 2025, I’m showing my personal commitment to building a stronger ecosystem where entrepreneurs’ stories are amplified, celebrated, and connected to real growth opportunities.

Sharine Joseph

Founding Member

Pre-registering as a Founding Member on August 27th, 2025 is deeply personal for me. BizConnect Caribbean has been a vision years in the making, born from my passion to see entrepreneurs in Saint Lucia and the OECS gain access to the kind of resources, mentorship, and opportunities that transform businesses. By becoming a Founding Member myself, I’m not only leading this project but also walking alongside every entrepreneur who takes this journey with us. This is about shared ownership, shared commitment, and building something sustainable together.

Michelle N. Samuel

Founder & Lead, BizConnect Caribbean

I pre-registered to become a Founding Member of BizConnect Caribbean on September 1st, 2025, because I believe in creating a strong, connected ecosystem for entrepreneurs across our region. As the project’s Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist, I see the powerful impact it can have, and as an entrepreneur myself through Techtronknights, MAS E-Learning, and iGROWCULTURE, I understand the need for community, collaboration, and support. For me, this is more than just joining a network; it’s about helping to build a lasting legacy that empowers Caribbean businesses to thrive locally and globally.
