At The Wilderness Collective, we believe that mentoring, support and education are fundamental to fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem. From business planning and marketing strategies to financial management and networking we are here to support and guide you on your journey towards success.
We are deeply committed to empowering the women in our remote town by providing them with the resources, support, and guidance they need to launch and grow their businesses, fostering a thriving entrepreneurial spirit within our community.
Living in a remote community, businesses often need to think creatively about scale and audience.
The Wilderness Collective offers support packages for remote and rural businesses and community groups that need someone who understands the dynamics and nuances of living in small towns – but ultimately engaging with the world.
The Micro-business Network is where big ideas, fresh connections, and real business growth happen—all over a friendly breakfast! This peer-led group is a space for micro-businesses and solo entrepreneurs to swap ideas, get inspired, and tackle real challenges with the support of like-minded locals. Each week, we dive into practical advice, share the latest tools and insights to help businesses thrive. And it’s working! Our attendees are discovering new market opportunities, gaining confidence, accessing game-changing technologies, and building partnerships that take their businesses further. Come along, grab a coffee, and let’s grow together!
