Labs Acceleration Program for Youth-Led Startups

Applications open until midnight pst (Vancouver) on July 5, 2021! Labs Batch 7 begins in September 2021 after Labour Day and runs for 12 weeks.

The League of Innovators is a Canadian charity that supports young entrepreneurs at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey to accelerate their path to success through a suite of barrier-free programs. To date, the League of Innovators has worked with over 400 young entrepreneurs across Canada who have become Forbes Top 30 Under 30, Peter Thiel Fellows, Fast Company World Changing Ideas, and yes have scaled their startups to wildly successful businesses. In a world of heightened uncertainty, the world needs young people to take action now more than ever before. Check out the League of Innovators’ Impact Report to learn more.

Labs is the League of Innovators' premier 12-week virtual acceleration program supporting youth-led startups across Canada. Throughout the program, the participants get access to workshops, ask me anything sessions with serial entrepreneurs and investors, coaching and resources as we dive into our key learning pillars (Founders First, Getting Your House in Order, and Building Connections). The last cohort of Labs consisted of 41% female entrepreneurs, 10% LGBTQ+, 7% with a disability, 65% BIPOC, and 25% spoke English as their second language.

Students can also register to join us on June 23rd, 12-1pm PST in this Info Session to learn more about the Labs program, meet some diverse program alumni, and get all of their questions answered by our LOI team. Please let me know if anyone in your community is interested? I'd love to get a referral to tell them and learn about what they are building and answer any questions they may have.
