Our Mentors

Innovation UBC works with a diverse network of 250+ dedicated mentors throughout our regional innovation ecosystem

Our mentors play a critical role in guiding our founders throughout their venture building journeys, investing their time, expertise and insights and working hands-on with teams to deepen their understanding of building a company and broadening their networks.

 

I love mentoring with Innovation UBC because I find inspiration in all the bright and motivated entrepreneurs in the UBC ecosystem. Innovation is the lifeblood of improvements to our society, and I’m grateful to be involved and give back my knowledge.
