Meet our 2023 Founder Program Cohort
From fantasy sports for Women's Professional Sports Leagues to mental health services, our founders are looking to take their business idea to the next level.
Our Founder Program accelerator features startups from intersectional founders working to change the future of tech! In this 12 week program, we’ve provided and will provide 14 impactful startups with the resources and training to succeed in the entrepreneurship world. We are doing that by focusing on the things startups need most: education, mentorship, and community.
Additionally, participants will receive a stipend for program participation and compete for a cash prize during our Pitch Day competition. Thank you to our program sponsors Georgian, Entrepreneur First, MT Ventures, and City of Toronto, and community sponsors RBCx, BDC, Fasken, Highline Beta, and One Eleven.
