After working as a manager for MAC Cosmetics, Cassidy Watt decided to make the transition into owning and operating her own makeup artistry business. Over the past 4 years, she has been one of the biggest names in local weddings. With eyes on expansion, Cassidy connected with the VK to seek out advice and guidance from a wide range of professionals.
I am so grateful to be a participant in the VK Accelerate Program! I felt overwhelmed at the idea of opening my own brick and mortar store but the team at Venture Kamloops connected me with knowledgeable professionals to assist me in my journey. I worked with a real estate agent, an interior designer, and even a business coach to set me up for success while opening my new storefront. Having Nicole and the VK team to mentor me while I navigated through the many challenges of expanding my business was extremely valuable and I am very grateful to have been able to participate in the Venture Kamloops Accelerate Program!
