Education Through Media Startup Labs

Toronto is on the cusp of a new era of dramatic growth in the technology startup sector. Over the past two decades the technology enabling the creation of online products has become cheaper and more effective, democratizing entrepreneurship. Toronto is becoming a hub for ideas and for utilizing technology to disrupt industry and culture.

Despite this shift, starting a successful business is still extraordinarily difficult, suffering from a steep learning curve. Thus, we are crafting a community to provide the necessary support, infrastructure, and educational framework for aspiring entrepreneurs to start new ventures.

We’re doing this by creating a multi-faceted startup space to serve the needs of high-potential young entrepreneurs and advance the startup ecosystem in Toronto. Our laboratory will not only have a place in which to collaborate, but also take advantage of a new kind of learning-by-doing. Through our curriculum, entrepreneurs will receive a pragmatic and multi-disciplinary education at the intersection of design, technology, and entrepreneurship.

Education Through Media Startup Labs will have a special focus on new immigrants, ethno-cultural youth and young women.
