e@UBCO Startup Sprint teaches entrepreneurial skills in an extreme hands-on environment. This program provides the tools, learning, and practical experience needed to start a successful business by creating a living entrepreneurship laboratory for a diverse community group, ranging from local business owners, the entrepreneurial-curious, freshmen students to freshly-minted PhDs, faculty and researchers to explore entrepreneurship. Participants gain experience not only in how to pursue and build a new venture, but also in cross-disciplinary collaboration, brainstorming and ideation, group productivity, ad-hoc leadership and decision-making under severe time constraints.

Startup Sprint is presented in partnership with WeBC.
The program is funded by the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy.
