The best way to learn about building a startup is from those who have done it.
We’ve developed a fantastic network of campus coaches who are available to work with you one-on-one. Our coaches are either founders themselves or were one of the very first startup employees–so they have been there and done that.
This is a unique opportunity for you to learn from someone with hands-on experience.
Read about our friendly coaches below. Schedule a 30-minute session with the person you think can best answer your business questions!
Note: The coaching sessions take place on the main University of Waterloo campus and are open to current students only.
Think you would be a great coach to students? We’re always looking to add to our network. Learn more about becoming a coach and apply if you think you’re a good fit.
