Venture for Canada

Our mission is to provide opportunities for the best and brightest to create dynamic companies for themselves and others, to restore entrepreneurship as a career path for elite young grads and to assist great companies through providing sharp young minds to help them grow.

The problem: There is a disconnect between bright young graduates and start-ups. Elite undergraduates want to work for dynamic, emerging business that are adding value, but start-ups often lack the resources to participate in competitive on campus recruiting.

The solution: Our Program. We are based on the successful Venture for America model, where top recent grads are sent to work for emerging start-ups and early stage companies for two years. As part of the program, Fellows receive training that gives the best of business school without the debt.
