ABOUT COSTARTER 2.0
Costarter 2.0 is a 12-week intensive accelerator program providing $18,000 in non-dilutive start-up funding, experienced advisors and mentors, workshops, and connections to government funding programs and investors. We only accept 5 companies into the program to maximize the support. Our goal is to move our Costarters to be revenue or investment ready by the end of the program. An exciting addition to this year’s program is the opportunity for successful Costarter graduates to receive up to $250k in follow-on financing in the form of a convertible investment. We are seeking individuals or teams that have an innovative business model which is scalable and have a full-time commitment to their start-up. Of course, they must see value in and commit to growing their business in Thunder Bay or Kenora.
