Momentum helped me get my business up and running. They didn't do any of the work for me, but they did provide guidance and resources on what to do and how to do it. The people are friendly and supportive and overall they do a great job. Thanks Momentum!

I was denied in the Immigrant Access Fund, so I entered in the ABC for business. Was able to come up with a business plan. 1 Plan did not push through because it would conflict with my job during that time. Came up with another social business concept that got me nominated in Awesome Foundation. Now, I ran a personal financial planning business that uses learnings I got from my class in Momentum. Thank you!!

Good place to work and learn or be associated with. I support what the place tries to do for folks in calgary.have recommended many people.I had very good experience with the ABC.keep up the good work.

Fantastic Staff! Increadable Coaches! I found success for myself and others though what I learned at momentum.
