Innovate Calgary's Company Creation program is looking for game-changing, early-stage startup opportunities with the following attributes:
  • Very early stage, with some technological proof of concept or prototype.  We typically do not accept opportunities at the idea stage

  • Any industry is acceptable, but with a priority focus on ICT, biomedical, industrial and manufacturing, geomatics, and clean tech

  • A novel, platform technology with the potential for multiple revenue streams and recurring income

  • A strong market opportunity, large enough to attract outside investors in future financing rounds

  • A significant and defendable competitive advantage

  • A dedicated entrepreneur or inventor who is fully committed to growing the opportunity on a full-time basis, OR a researcher who is prepared to serve in a meaningful role in the company until it becomes self sustaining 
     
We welcome proposals from across Alberta, whether affiliated with
the University of Calgary or completely independent.
