Now in its 11th year, University of New Brunswick's Summer Institute program is graduating four new companies. The Institute teaches sales, marketing, and customer validation skills to companies making positive social and environmental impacts. 

All the founders will be at the Wu Conference Centre in Fredericton to present their companies and ideas on October 22 at 3pm.  You can register here.

The three-month accelerator offers founders more than $6,000 for living costs, $2,000 for prototyping, as well as skills training and coaching. Since it began in 2014, the program has graduated more than 60 ventures.
