Program turning ideas into businesses

Applications for EPICentre’s RBC EPIC Founders is set to open on March 31. The program enables participants to explore their ideas by providing them with mentorship, workshops, and other tools and resources.

Students and recent graduates from the University of Windsor are eligible for the program, which provides a full-time stipend up to $6,000 over 12 weeks that can be used as seed funding for the business.

The program is set to start on May 18 and will culminate on August 7, giving participants the opportunity to pitch their idea and prototype to a panel of judges for a chance to win additional cash prizes valued at $4,500.

Applications are open until May 1. Find more information on the EPICentre website: epicentreuwindsor.ca/epic-founders-program.
