[IN]tensive Day 03 - INtake 01

This week’s INtensive Day at [IN]cubes was successful at shifting the Startup’s focus from Biz Dev Planning and Qualifying to the beginning of the Product Dev portion of the INcubes 3 month curriculum. INcubes Mentors were [IN]office for group seminars and one on one INtensive Mentoring sessions with the founders from each of our 6 Startups.

We were pleased to have Gerard Buckley [IN] for his second Mentor Seminar. After leading Elevator pitch Practice, he gave a valuable talk on, Forming an Advisory Board. His sessions are always very informative and give our Startups much to think about in the future. @GerardBuckley

Gerard Buckley speaks to our startups about selecting the right advisory board.

INcubes had a drop[IN] from Councillor James Pasternak, Toronto, Ward 10 / York Centre in North York. He graciously gave his time to hear our Startups pitches, and discuss How The City of Toronto Supports Startup Culture, as well, a fascinating back and forth about Canada’s economic position in global technology markets and how Toronto City can encourage what’s happening here. We are honoured to learn that [IN]cubes is fast becoming a recognized hub in this vital effort to foster for Canadian Entreprenialship and our culture of INnovation. Thank you to Councillor James Pasternak for your offers of ongoing support. @JamesPasternak
