Entrepreneurs need a place to build, reflect, and finesse their plans in the company of likeminded, passionate founders. This 8-module asynchronistic course will guide participants through the step-by-step process of launching a business. Professors provide insights and use business cases to help participants understand the entrepreneurial process. The Founder's Journey portion of Entrepreneur Innovation Academy was created by Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship at Western University, in collaboration with RBC Future Launch, and The Globe and Mail. In addition to online learning modules, participants will receive one-to-one support from TechAlliance’s Venture Growth advisors and will come together for four interactive in-person sessions in downtown London to share challenges as a cohort.
