The Social Ventures Zone is the home of social innovators at Canada’s most entrepreneurial university. We work with students, alumni, faculty and people from the broader community to build social ventures that create real impact. The Social Ventures Zone model is based on rigorous research and global best practices about how social ventures can be best supported.
At the Social Ventures Zone, we work with innovators to develop their ventures, supporting them with coaching, training, work space, and funding opportunities - all delivered in a growing community that is passionate about making change happen.
The Social Ventures Zone at 10
In honour of our tenth year, we asked some friends of the Social Ventures Zone to talk to us about what the Zone has meant to them, how it's affected their path, and what they hope to see going forward.
We can't wait to see what the next 10 years has to offer.
