Leadership teams at mature startups might find a support program tailored to the unique needs of their larger enterprises in the form of the University of New Brunswick’s Scale Up Atlantic Canada program.
The six-month program, spearheaded by UNB’s J. Herbert Smith Centre for Technology Management & Entrepreneurship, is aimed specifically at fast-growing companies with between $1 million and $15 million in revenue. It will run from April 26 to Oct. 26 and promises to help participants “aggressively” scale their businesses.
The program’s backers also include the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the province of New Brunswick. And its content will focus on helping participants increase their sales, prepare for operational growth and tap new sources of funding.
The program is designed by Daniel Isenberg, a professor at the prestigious Babson College in Massachusetts, where he previously founded the Babson Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Project.
Applications are due April 14, and a form can be found here.
