Leap Startup League Now Open for Applications

In partnership with Sheridan EDGE, ICUBE is thrilled to welcome applicants for the Fall 2021 cohort of Leap Startup League. Are you looking for an experiential learning opportunity to help you develop your venture? Are you a creator, entrepreneurial thinker, or leader with big ideas seeking out the tools to turn it into a reality? Leap Startup League will provide the expertise, resources, and community of entrepreneurs and advisors to help you thrive.

“My favourite part about Leap Startup League was being surrounded by people who were extremely motivated to make an impact in their own, unique way,” one Winter 2021 LSL participant says. “Witnessing the passion behind everyone else’s ideas definitely inspired us to make progress with ours.”

Through LSL, you will be able to work with expert facilitators and industry leaders to finetune your ideas and develop your business model. The small cohorts provide applicants with opportunities for collaboration and one-on-one support, as well as ongoing workshops, advising, and mentorship.

“As a new mother with a dream to make an impact through entrepreneurship, I would have never imagined to be able to join a great incubator program and learn about business, if it is not because of Leap Startup League,” one LSL participant says. “The program created an inclusive and supportive environment to make me feel everyone has a fair chance to learn and grow. I am more confident about the path forward of my venture after the training provided by LSL.”

The goal of Leap Startup League is to guide those big ideas into a direction that will benefit our communities and our planet.

Leap Startup League applications will be open from July 5 to July 26. For more information, visit: https://icubeutm.ca/start-up/
