Manitoba is trying. http://www.innovatemanitoba.com/ http://www.innovatemanitoba.com/ is a government sponsored body trying to increase entrepreneurship in the province.
I was on one of their programs last year where they brought in some prominent angels and VCs, and ran a 3 day course on how to define your business and pitch it. It was an amazing time.
This year they're increasing the number of programs and trying to get banks, universities/colleges, and some industry to come on board to provide mentorship and advice to would be entrepreneurs.
- ahelwer 15y agoInteresting, I had not heard about this program, thanks. I grew up in Brandon, where there is not much of a tech culture to be found (moved to and currently work in Calgary). Is there a tech community in Winnipeg?
- kerryfalk 15y agoSmall and growing. It's a bit fractured at the moment and there are many places to focus one's attention, but that's better than the alternative of nothing at all. I see things improving for us over the next few years.
- lux 15y agoHadn't heard about this yet, thanks! Also good to see fellow 'peggers on here :)
