Anyone can apply – this program welcomes women, men, trans, non-binary, gender-diverse, and two-spirit people. The program will ensure equity in cohort design, championing women and those under-represented in the entrepreneurial world first.

The Accelerator is designed for people who already have an idea for a new venture. The idea can be rough and without specifics yet, but you should be able to explain what you want to create in a sentence. Don’t worry, we help you do the rest.

We look for ideas that have purpose at the heart; ideas that want to do good. This can be in the form of a start-up, a for-profit business, a not-for-profit, a foundation, etc. We welcome both for-profit and not-for-profit – working together makes both sides stronger.

No – the curriculum of the accelerator serves the pre-seed stage or the ‘idea stage’. If you are already incorporated or registered and are still figuring out the specifics of your offering, you can still join.

We believe in the power of coming together in person, so the program kick-off will be in person in Toronto, Canada for 2 days. The remainder of the program will be virtual with modules being scheduled at a time that is convenient across most time zones.

We are committed to empowering as many elite athletes as possible. If you need assistance or have specific requirements, reach out to us at info@victoryventures.io.
