ScaleUP Opens Applications for Summer/Fall Cohort

June 26, 2018in Tech News 0 Comments

WEtech Alliance is accepting applications for its second cohort of the ScaleUP accelerator program.

ScaleUP – powered by Libro Credit Union and the Ontario Trillium Foundation – provides financial and mentoring support to tech startup entrepreneurs in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent looking to scale their business.

ScaleUP will select five (5) entrepreneurs who will receive four-months of intensive business mentoring + in-kind services valued at $15,000 + access to a global network of support + the opportunity to pitch for a $10,000 top prize in front of the Windsor Essex Capital Angel Network (WECAN).

ScaleUP will run two cohorts:

  1. 1st Cohort: March to June, 2018 (COMPLETED)
  2. 2nd Cohort: August to November, 2018

Applications – and program information – can be found at https://www.wetech-alliance.com/scaleup.

The deadline to apply for the 2nd Cohort is 11:59pm on July 22nd, 2018

ScaleUP is a new program that evolved from the successful Libro StartUP, and is looking for startups that have moved beyond ideation and product/market fit – with advantage given to startups who have achieved early sales.

“We are building upon a successful partnership with WEtech Alliance forged through the Libro Prosperity Fund, one that supports innovative startup entrepreneurs and aligns with our purpose of growing prosperity across southwestern Ontario,” said Lori Atkinson, Libro’s regional manager of Essex-Kent.

“This innovative partnership is born out of a passion for community and a commitment to supporting the growing community of tech startup entrepreneurs in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent” says Yvonne Pilon, President and CEO of WEtech Alliance.

ScaleUP is the first accelerator program in the region focused on scaling startups and that is open to entrepreneurs of all ages.
