Dalhousie University is looking for Atlantic Canadian students and researchers working on launching businesses to apply to Ready2Launch, its new virtual summer accelerator.
Affiliated with the Lab2Market program, Ready2Launch is a 12-week program that helps participants take their businesses from idea to launch. It is open to undergraduate or graduate students, researchers, or recent grads from any Atlantic Canadian university.
The program will admit 10 teams, and each will receive $10,000 in non-repayable funding.
“Where Lab2Market focuses on customer discovery, this program builds on it,” said Spencer Giffin, Dal’s Assistant Director of Commercialization and Startups. He added the program aims to “support teams with business model validation as they get ready to launch.”
You can apply here until April 27.
The programing – which will be virtual – will be held June 1 to Aug 21, and the organizers are planning a demo day for Sept. 11.
