Founders who came through Canada's Start-up Visa program and Launch Academy describe building companies in Vancouver. They credit the program and academy staff for helping them incorporate, make connections, and launch products with plans to sell globally.
Launch Academy is the place to be if you're an entrepreneur looking to grow your business leverage beyond what you'll be able to do on your own.
Thanks to Launch Academy and the startup Visa program I was able to easily come here and incorporate my company and make a lot of valuable connections. It has been great because Canada is especially Vancouver is great for entrepreneurial scene and making a lot of connections and finding all the resources you need. The government's helpful and the Launch Academy staff have been a great help as well.
So this is the first product that we launched here in Canada and we are very proud to have a fully Canadian product which we have intend to sell worldwide.
We have experience in building an Australian startup but not so much understanding the dynamics and the landscape here in North America and so having Launch Academy provide us with different resources, the network, the information that we need to be more successful and grow effectively has been absolutely crucial for us.
