The University of Waterloo is launching a new program to help students with the first step of entrepreneurial innovation — the identification and definition of an important consumer, industrial, economic or technical problem.
The Problem Lab will be spearheaded by Waterloo economics professor Larry Smith, and is made possible by $300,000 in seed funding from Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, principals of Quantum Valley Investments® and founders of Blackberry.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous contribution of Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, principals of Quantum Valley Investments® and founders of Blackberry, for their support of the Problem Pitch Competitions.
