This is the next step in the evolution of the MaRS BMEP program, an MRI funded initiative to help build a strong, robust ecosystem for ontario entrepreneurs. There are many programs and services that can be accessed, including market research reports from the leading market research providers, and various grant programs to help startups with specific, targetted issues.

All of these programs and tools are accessed through the Venture Services Group, a single face to Waterloo Region entrepreneurs. The Venture Services group is a joint initiative of Communitech (including the newly launched Digital Media Centre) and the Accelerator Centre. We’re a group of  entrepreneurs-in-residence, and are available to provide coaching and mentoring, help with connecting to provincial programs/services and doing everything we can to help entrepreneurs build a strong business. We can help in many ways, including helping you get the most out of working through the materials in the MaRS Entrepreneur’s Toolkit.

It’s easy to get engaged. Karen Brown is the one to contact. Karen can be reached at 519-888-9944 x43    or karen.brown@communitech.ca.
