Who is Collective Odyssey for?
Collective Odyssey is designed for anyone who wants to explore an idea, bring a project to life, or start a business, regardless of their level of experience.
The program welcomes participants from all walks of life and particularly encourages applications from newcomers, young entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, people of color, and anyone interested in developing an entrepreneurial project that makes a positive impact.
Whether you’re just starting to think about it or ready to take action, you’ll find the right support to turn your idea into a concrete project.
The 4-Tangent Method
At Impact ON, we believe that you don’t need a complete business plan right from the start to begin your entrepreneurial journey.
That is why Odyssée Collective uses the “4 Tangents” method, an approach developed to help project leaders structure their thinking step by step, without becoming discouraged by the complexity of a traditional business plan.
Instead of trying to build everything all at once, this method allows you to explore the key aspects of your project one step at a time: clarify your vision, understand your market, build your model, and prepare for the next stages of your development.
The result: you move forward with a clearer vision, a stronger foundation, and a project that takes shape naturally, at your own pace.
