BUS 477 - New Venture Planning

Hi everyone,

 Just thought I would post this here for anyone who may be interested in the new SFU Venture Connection.  Read about it below.

Enjoy,

Amanda 

This initiative builds on SFU's reputation as one of the top North American universities in terms of creating spin-off companies, and ties in with the Faculty of Business' new undergraduate concentration in Entrepreneurship.  Venture Connection creates a hub to link student, faculty and local entrepreneurs with experienced advisors, funding opportunities, and other business connections.  At Venture Connection we are poised to launch and spin off more companies than SFU has ever done before.

Please join us at one of our special events to learn more about this new initiative.
