Because That First Step Is Often the Hardest One to Take.
Democratizing Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Success
We've been getting situated for the last two years. The initial idea was to set up a startup and small business accelerator in rural New Brunswick to move the local economy towards diversification.
It didn't take long to realize what was needed in smaller communities all over Canada was a way to jumpstart an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. Through one on one coaching, consulting, event planning, education and training initiatives, we've begun our mission to empower the would-be, could-be and should-be entrepreneurs and leaders in Atlantic Canada and look forward to continuing the journey with them.

The World Doesn't Wait for Your Friends to Get It
Do you have an Idea?
Not all business ideas are million or billion dollar ones. But they don’t have to be. If you have an idea that you feel will make a positive impact on your community, in your customer’s lives and most importantly in your life, then we’d love to help you make it a reality.
Do You Need Access to Expertise and Resources?
Our mission was simple, to democratize entrepreneurship in rural Canada, we’d have to organize and deliver access to the same resources and expertise that larger urban centres take for granted. I believe we have done that in spades!
Do You Have the Support to Keep Going?
The reason we called it Dockyard was because the journey of an entrepreneur is filled with hard miles, brutal storms and struggles to stay afloat. We wanted to create a safe harbour where leaders could patch themselves up, restock and go back stronger!
Our Epic Staff
Our Staff is just part of the team you’ll get to work with when you engage with Dockyard. We take our in-house expertise and leverage our expansive network to ensure every business we help gets the benefit of not just our internal expertise but the best

Our Clients
"You’ve created a group that is a safe place for business ladies like myself to rally together and build each other up. Having other passionate people like myself to bounce ideas off of was more than I could have hoped for. I feel so inspired and oddly, I feel like just having the will to learn and grow on something that I love is already being in the right direction."
