About the Discovery Foundation Capital Mentorship Program

The Discovery Foundation Capital Mentorship Program is designed to help early-stage, for-profit entrepreneurs become more strategic in raising capital critical to accelerating their ventures. Running from in two cohorts from May–July (Seed–Series A) and then from September–November (Series A–Series B), the program is comprised of a series of impactful events featuring panels, workshops, pitch training, investor–company matching and networking opportunities. Carefully selected startups will also participate in highly curated dealflow events. The VEC subsequently supports outbound missions to meet investors in key markets globally.

This program will most benefit CEOs and founders of growth-oriented technology and impact economy companies in Metro Vancouver who have already launched a product or service. Their companies generate revenue and are ready to seek external sources of funding to accelerate growth; they are planning their investment strategy and are looking at a timeline of raising capital in the next six months.
