About us
BizConnect Caribbean is a mission‑driven initiative created by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. We believe that when Caribbean founders have access to relevant knowledge, tools, and networks, they can build businesses that create jobs, solve local challenges, and compete globally.
Introduction
Who are we?
We are a small, dedicated team of Saint Lucian and Caribbean professionals with experience in entrepreneurship, ecosystem building, and community development. We work alongside local and international partners to design programs that meet founders where they are.
What do we do?
BizConnect Caribbean provides practical support for early‑stage entrepreneurs through structured learning experiences, one‑on‑one and group advisory sessions, a community of practice for peer learning and collaboration, and a digital portal that curates tools, templates, and opportunities. Our goal is to strengthen the startup ecosystem so that entrepreneurs can access what they need without having to leave the region.
