Mentors & Support Groups
It is amazing how many mentorship and support groups exist here in Vancouver to support entrepreneurs. A sampling…
1. e@ubc has multiple offerings for the UBC community from open office hours with experts and Lean Launchpad accelerators to one on one intensives with mentors. http://entrepreneurship.ubc.ca/programs/
2. The C100 is a non-profit organization built by Canadian entrepreneurs who have successfully made their way in Silicon Valley. Their goal is to help the next generation of Canadian tech entrepreneurs through mentorship, partnership and investment. http://www.thec100.org
3. The Forum for Women Entrepreneurs has strong roots in the Vancouver entrepreneurial community. Their goal is to provide women ‘with tools, education, support, and energy they need to become wildly successful entrepreneurs.’ http://www.fwe.ca
