I left feeling inspired, empowered, and more connected to the local business community. Highly recommend GTApreneurs events to anyone looking to grow their network and business in a meaningful way!

I have been attending GTApreneurs events for the past two years, and the experience has been incredible! Not only have I had the opportunity to network with amazing business professionals, but I have also had the privilege of hosting events alongside Tammy DeFoe in Newmarket. As an active member, I receive numerous benefits, including discounted or free event access, online training and coaching, and the chance to build lasting relationships with fellow entrepreneurs. The connections I've made through GTApreneurs have been instrumental in growing my business and expanding my network. A special shout-out to Tammy DeFoe, the incredible president of GTApreneurs! She has built a thriving business dedicated to helping others succeed. Her mentorship has been invaluable to me, providing insights, support, and encouragement that have truly made a difference in my professional growth. If you're looking to connect, learn, and grow, I highly recommend GTApreneurs!

I attended a Gtapreneurs Networking event this week and it awesome. Tammy Defoe was the organizer and it featured a guest speaker and various businesses highlighting their businesses at exhibits. We all got to do some networking and I met some great people I am connecting too.. Tammy poured her heart into this and it showed. I will be going back next month and highly recommend Gtapreneurs where I have met some wonderful people and made lasting friendships.

It was great to finally have you at one of our in person events Lindsay! I am so happy to hear that you will be coming back next month!
Being a member of GTAprenuers Richmond Hill group for the past year and also having attended over a dozen of highly effective networking events planned by Tammy Defoe and her team for the past 2 years, I have to say that I have met a diverse group of professionals from all walks of life. This is not an easy feat to achieve on your own. I have leveraged many contacts from these groups of professionals, many of whom I have become a client of and many whom have become clients of my own. Thank you to Tammy for these initiatives. I look forward to more progressive experiences like these.

We attend the GTApreneurs monthly in-person events in Vaughan and they are always well attended with informative speakers and fantastic networking opportunities. Tammy is a huge supporter of small businesses and is passionate about helping people connect and grow. I highly recommend coming out to these events. You can't grow your business from sitting behind a computer!

Over the years, these connections have blossomed into meaningful relationships and friendships that we rely on. Thank you, Tammy, for starting your business and bringing us together with so many incredible people at every meeting. We appreciate you. Filip & Cynthia
