    Don’t run your startup in a silo; join others who build things.

  • Nicole Smith Flytographer

    The networking with other startups, the weekly 1:1 with my EiR and booster resources have really helped me as a solo-bootstrapping founder.

  • Theo Underwood Focus Sales Systems Inc.

    It’s been great come to work in such a vibrant community, full of enthusiastic and innovative people all set on building great start-ups into great companies!

  • Ian Harper BradField Productions

    Having an Executive in Residence sitting alongside was the much-needed sounding board throughout the step-by-step process. It has been a valuable exercise.

    If you qualify for the Venture Acceleration Program, you would have to be crazy not to enroll. The program fee pays for itself 100 times over each month.

  • Theo Underwood Focus Sales Systems Inc.

    The best thing has been the consistent, reliable voice of experience guiding us through a thorough business planning process.

  • Mike Tan Change Heroes

    Since being a part of the Venture Acceleration Program, Change Heroes has secured startup funding, doubled our team size and are on pace to 10x our revenues from last year.

  • Peter Matejcek HuStream

    Entrepreneurship is for the most part a lonely road. Having an EIR who has walked the road is invaluable to not only the business but for personal growth. Our EIR has helped us focus and hone in on everything from sales strategies, human resources and product validation without skipping a beat in the everyday journey.

  • Brian Friesen Backyard BC

    The Venture Acceleration Program opened the door for us to meet with potential investors, refine our pitch and ultimately up our game.

  • Theo Underwood Focus Sales Systems Inc.

    The Venture Acceleration Program has truly accelerated our growth and development to a very significant extent.
