we bring real startup grit to the classroom

we help students navigate the startup journey - not just write a business plan.

CI Ventures has partnered with colleges and universities across Canada to deliver real-world entrepreneurship programs that prepare students to actually build.

not hypotheticals. not theories. just what works - and what doesn’t - straight from the trenches.

our workshops, bootcamps, and mentorship tracks have helped students go from idea to MVP to first customer.

what we can deliver

we don’t just guest lecture. we embed.

we work alongside faculty and innovation teams to deliver programs that are:

  • hands-on and founder-led

  • focused on execution, not theory

  • built around current startup realities

  • tailored to student ambition - whether it’s side hustle or global scale

programs we offer:

  • startup sprints & MVP bootcamps

  • real-time pitch feedback & investor simulation

  • founder AMA sessions (no filters, just facts)

  • incubator-style cohort programs with actual traction goals

  • custom workshops based on curriculum needs

want to bring startup energy to your campus?

we make it real. we make it actionable.

and we can bring in founders, operators, and investors who don’t sugarcoat the journey.

if your school wants to level up its entrepreneurship programming - we’re in.

let’s give students the tools to actually launch something.
