St. John’s-based innovation hub Genesis is seeking founders for its winter cohort of Evolve, a program designed to help early-stage entrepreneurs turn tech-driven ideas into viable businesses.

The upcoming cohort begins on January 29, offering founders a hybrid blend of hands-on workshops and mentorship, the group said in a statement.

The eight-week immersive program is designed for those who have identified a real problem and are ready to find out if their technology is a viable solution.

The program focuses on "learning by doing," guiding participants to validate their assumptions, conduct customer research, and utilize AI-powered tools to refine their concepts.

 The cost is $200 for the general public and free for Memorial University students.

Genesis said that, to date, it has supported over 1,000 tech startups, helped create nearly 3,200 jobs, and contributed more than $3.5 billion in economic impact to the province.
