RippleX Fellowship University Roadshow + Startup 101 Workshop - Queen's University Edition
Join the Ripple Ventures team on the RippleX Fellowship University Roadshow - Queen's Edition where we are hosting an event to showcase the Founder Fellowship program, open Q&A on anything startup/VC related, and networking.
Our Queen's roadshow stop will have an extra special portion of the event. Our team is also hosting a Startup Building 101 Workshop - fundamentals of building a startup day zero. We will work with the companies and founders present on how to iteratively build a startup and the principles of customer discovery, product development and GTM strategies for early stage companies.
This event is for any student founders, aspiring founders, or recent grads interested in learning about the RippleX Fellowship or Ripple Ventures. You will get to meet Naz Thakkar (alumni of Queen's Commerce and Senior Associate) & Katie Ko (Associate) at Ripple Ventures & Alumni of RippleX.
The event is in partnership with Queen's organization InQUbate who is graciously co-hosting the event.
Pizza and pop will be provided!
We are doing our first batch with in-person workshops and events for companies based in Toronto and Vancouver. Learn more about the program below 👇

The RippleX Founder Fellowship is a program specifically for B2B software companies built by underrepresented student/grad/dropout founders in Canada and the United States. This program is designed to help founders at the earliest stages get unique access to customers, esteemed operators, and hands-on support from the Ripple team. If you need help with validating your problem space with customers, all the way to getting your first dollars of revenue and funding, you've come to the right place. Companies accepted in the batch will have the opportunity to receive funding from Ripple via the Fellow Fund.
