I found that doing this distance accelerator program is like having my own secret weapon in my back pocket: invaluable advice from a mentor who has been in my shoes. The weekly check-ins have helped me make better business decisions and have also prevented me from wasting resources and making mistakes.

“Within a short period of time, the program has really helped us to scale our business. At each weekly check-in our mentor, Ean, has given us good advice. The feedback Ean has given us has helped grow our venture because it has pushed us to take on new perspectives that we had not previously thought about ourselves.”

The New Ventures BC Venture Acceleration Program is incredible. The knowledge we have gained from the program would’ve taken us years to learn. The program has propelled WalletCard with a solid foundation and a better understanding of our target markets, value proposition and sales channel. The Venture Acceleration Program is a must for any entrepreneur entering the technology sector. It is important for entrepreneurs to understand that the most valuable tool in a business is your mentors and network.
