Entrepreneurship 101

shared by Assunta Krehl on 14 Oct 09 - Cached
  • MaRS Centre in Toronto runs a free entrepreneurship program from Sept to April called "Entrepreneurship 101" designed to teach those in the local scientific community the ins and outs of getting started with a business. Over the course of the program they cover topics ranging from how to write a business plan to protecting your intellectual property and get various prominent speakers to share their experiences as well. Classes are held 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Wednesdays, at the MaRS Centre (located in downtown Toronto). If you are in town, this is a great opportunity to learn. It is also completely free to attend - all you gotta do is sign up and show up and by the end of it, you'd be fairly well acquainted with the tools and knowledge you need to start your own hi-tech business, which is what the government and the folks behind MaRS Center want at the end of the day. MaRS is also making available full recordings of each of its classes online, which Techvibes would be posting on a weekly basis so you can still learn from the program if distance is an issue.

  • Non-profits share concerns on bond-funded social program
  • Under the funding model, also known as "pay for success," organizations would receive the money of private investors or investment groups who purchase bonds from the government that are linked to specific program benchmarks.
  • Joe Kriesberg, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations, said the bonds could be an appropriate way for governments to fund prevention programs, but that there will be several challenges going forward in any type of SIB funding structure.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • "I'd be really concerned about corporate ideals taking precedence over a non-profit's mission, and I would be equally concerned about the stigma of government money sometimes really limiting what you can do. How can you promote the real, true essence of a non-profit's mission with the restrictions that a corporation or a government might put on that?"
  • Bryan Ayers, CEO of Great Barrington-based Community Health Programs, said the bonds would offer a new way to fund long-term community-based prevention and health programs, but that to be truly effective investment groups must be willing to wait for results.

    "Ontario's lucrative Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program for renewable energy will mean the development of new and highly efficient energy technologies that will secure the Province's clean energy supply for generations. Tom Rand, head of the clean technology practice at MaRS Discovery District and co-organizer of the renewable energy financing conference held in Toronto last month, said that under the province's feed-in-tariff program, the investments are as safe as a 20-year government bond that pays 8 to 12 per cent per year, and guarantees quick connection to the grid.
