From MaRS: Entrepreneurship 101

Filed in archive Entrepreneurship on February 15, 2007

From Toronto's renowned "Discovery District" is the mars Entrepreneurship 101 presentation designed to help you get your ideas across to investors, bankers, and VC's.

Conventional communication of a business idea to investors, employees, customers etc. relies on tools like a pitch deck, an executive summary two pager, etc, and this lecture focussed on the content and structure of these documents. Via Entrepreneurship 101

They do offer a video of the training, it loaded but the audio was choppy and did not work for me. You can however find a slide presentation for download that contains some good tips.

Poke around their blog, there are some great tips, links and while there I found a link to an Industry Canada page where a Venture Capital Monitor [read report] sits, it's purpose is:

Quarterly publication on the venture capital (VC) industry in Canada... the series will track trends in investment activity, report on topical VC-related research and look at key technology clusters where VC investment is taking place.
