StartMeUp Ryerson
Description
StartMeUp Ryerson is a structured environment that provides participants with motivation, expert advice, mentorship, resources and funding for their new business, non-profit or community program venture.
Participants are first introduced to the StartMeUp Ryerson Process during the many events held each year as well as One-on-One Orientations. Once they formally register for the program, they receive an Idea Consultation with an Expert Panel and receive Personalized Recommendations and tips directly related to their idea. A Program Coordinator then works directly with participants to help them to set goals, determine timelines, and create a customized development program to access all the Resources, Mentors and funding available from the Ryerson Entrepreneur Institute(REI).
