We are thrilled to partner with Founder Institute Montreal for their Virtual Startup Pre-Seed Accelerator. Now more than ever, it is crucial to recognize and support innovation within Canada's entrepreneurship ecosystem" said Kayla Isabelle, Executive Director at Startup Canada.
"We are honored to present the Women in STEM fellowship to support new entrepreneurial endeavors for women in STEM industries.
We believe that entrepreneurs can fix the world's problems, no matter how daunting or widespread the challenge may seem. The Founder Institute's mission is to empower communities of talented and motivated people to build technology businesses that positively impact the world. However, we too often watch talented entrepreneurs pursue ideas with low ambition. As the world becomes more connected and technology infiltrates the very fabric of our society, there has never been a better time for tech startups to make a difference and change the world.
Through this partnership, all women founders building a tech-based startup in Montreal can apply to the program for free ($50 value), and the most extraordinary applicants will be awarded the Startup Canada "Women in STEM" Fellowship, giving them the opportunity to enrol in the program for free ($999 value). The recipients will be recognized as someone with the utmost potential to become a successful technology entrepreneur.
In order to be eligible for the Startup Canada "Women in STEM" Fellowship to the Montreal Founder Institute, you must complete your application and admissions test by the Final Application Deadline on 2020-08-02, using this link.

In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch and build a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors.
