Successful graduates of YEDI's Incubator Track will now be eligible to receive a non-repayable grant of up to $30,000 toward the realization of their ventures

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA , September 27, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It is a challenging feat these days to survive in the small business market and grow a thriving venture. While many ideas are inventive, they lack the tools, training, and entrepreneurial edge to become real solutions for today’s complex issues. The York Entrepreneurship Development Institute (YEDI) is a world-ranked, charitable university linked accelerator whose mission is to provide top-tier business education and mentorship to innovative entrepreneurs from any industry in order to build and accelerate successful businesses. YEDI is ranked as the #3 University Linked Accelerator in North America and #1 in Ontario by UBI Global.

Starting from the Fall 2016 cohort, all participants who successfully complete the Incubator Track will be eligible to receive up to $30,000 in the form of a non-repayable grant upon completion.

Selected entrepreneurs will benefit from academic lectures by instructors from the Schulich Executive Education Centre (SEEC), theory application seminars, peer workshops and mentorship by leading industry experts. Through strategic milestones and one-on-one sessions with program advisors, participants will be able to formulate an investor-ready business plan complete with financial projections and an appropriate business model.
YEDI accepts for-profit companies as well as social enterprises from any industry and at any stage in development. The Incubator Track is industry agnostic and serves Toronto & York Region-based ventures. In its commitment to support all industries and ideas, YEDI considers applications in seed, early, or growth stages and welcomes all innovators to apply.
