The
Lazaridis Institute for the Management of Technology Enterprises at Wilfrid Laurier University has announced the launch of a national scale-up data platform to capture and track growth metrics for Canadian companies. Powered by
Hockeystick, this platform will be available for every innovation organization—incubator, accelerator, scale-up and startup—across Canada. Free memberships are available as of today.
The platform will capture comprehensive, standardized data, facilitating application, selection and reporting processes for a wide variety of programs, and will provide a direct feedback loop to its users over a secure network. Users will have the option to share private data in order to gain visibility with potential sources of support and investment with no added cost in time or effort.
The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of Small Business and Tourism, and Member of Parliament for Waterloo, announced today that the
Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), through a non-repayable contribution, will provide funding of up to $2.5 million to the Lazaridis Institute for the national data scale-up platform.
