Don’t just take our word for it
Here’s what our founder members have said about us.
SFU VentureLabs has played a critical role in our launch as a startup. We received our first investor pitch training and built a successful go-to-market strategy through a program hosted at VentureLabs. The daily interaction with other cofounders, investors, guest lecturers and entrepreneurs-in-residence at VentureLabs has been incredibly rewarding.
