VentureLabs offers community support and structured accelerator programs designed to help companies optimize and accelerate their development and growth with actionable advice and hands-on mentoring programs. We provide our members with support services, resources and the relationships to succeed, with access to deep expertise and exposure to potential investors.
Companies join VentureLabs to become members of a supportive, growth-oriented innovation community. All members have access to the full suite of services and programming, whether they are “virtual” and working from their own corporate offices, or “on site” where they require dedicated work area and access to meeting space) in the VentureLabs facilities in downtown Vancouver.
Agartee has benefitted enormously from being part of VentureLabs. My EIR has significant expertise in healthcare which has been critical to refining our product strategy. We’ve also worked closely with mentors on business modelling, go-to-market planning, and resource allocation. It’s a supportive community here, full of deep expertise.
