Start the term strong by learning what counts as a startup, how to know if your idea is worth pursuing and what you should do to get started.

Hosted by Alroy Almeida, Co-Founder Voltera, Director of Deep Tech at Velocity

If you wish to explore the commercialization of your project/research, then this program is for you. We know turning technology into a product is hard. That is why the teams at Velocity and the Waterloo Commercialization Office (WatCo) are combining our expertise in startups and technology transfer to accelerate your ambitions. If you are building something that can help people, businesses, or society flourish, we want to hear from you.

So you’ve got an idea? Before building anything in startups, you have to validate that it’s actually something somebody wants. While sounding relatively straightforward, figuring out whether people actually want your thing is the crucible on which most great startups are forged. Come join us for a new imagining of Cornerstone. Lead by Eric Blondeel, a two-time YC alumni, you’ll learn how to validate your idea without fooling yourself and others with bias. Learn about the mistakes of the teams that came before you and maybe earn some prizes along the way too.
