Meet our dynamic network of Funders and Community Collaborators.

We are supported by generous partners across our UBC community and BC ecosystem who help us to drive our mission of inspiring and educating the leaders of tomorrow through the pursuit of entrepreneurship and venture building. Our funders and collaborators are our industry and academic champions, strengthening our multi-disciplinary approach to venture building.

As part of the Office of the Vice-President, Research & Innovation's Innovation UBC, working alongside Innovation Partnerships, the University-Industry Liaison Office and Knowledge Exchange, we help innovators tackle translational challenges and move discoveries to impact.

We are further supported by our foundational partners across UBC campus like the Institute for Computing and Cognitive Systems (ICICS), Faculty of Applied Science, UBC Sauder, the School of Biomedical Engineering and many more, as well as industry partners such as Genome BC and Innovate BC.
