University of Alberta – Venture Mentoring Service

The ThresholdImpact University of Alberta Venture Mentoring Service (VMS) supports all members of the UAlberta community (students, faculty, staff and alumni). Our program is modelled after the highly successful Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) VMS program. We’re focused on cultivating strong and capable entrepreneurs by coaching and guiding them through their challenges so that they own their decisions, rather than relying on others for answers.

There is growing interest in entrepreneurship and innovation here in Alberta and our university community is no exception. UAlberta students and alumni have demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit, and VMS is meant to provide these entrepreneurs with the guidance and mentorship to get themselves, and their venture, to the next level.
