Summary
Venture for Canada is a Canadian national charity which supports recent graduates in their pursuit of entrepreneurship. This involves having approximately 50 students per year selected to receive a fellowship, where they learn about leadership, teamwork, start-up business culture and adapt their entrepreneurial mindset towards working in the tech industry. It’s a wonderful opportunity for Canadian students hoping to either start their own business or contribute to an existing, growing business venture. While VFC is primarily a charity organization, its fellowship program does have an associated program fee for the accepted students and stands as the revenue generating source for the charity. This means that having a certain number of applicants every year is a priority for the organization. Read more in the case study below.
