Startup Canada and Versature, Canada’s leading business VoIP phone provider, have partnered to help entrepreneurs across Canada find mentors, support and new opportunities to start and grow their companies at each of the seven stops on Startup Canada’s #EveryEntrepreneur Tour.
“It is thanks to the support of companies like Versature that Startup Canada can connect entrepreneurs across Canada with the resources and networks needed to succeed,” said Canada CEO Victoria Lennox. “Whether it’s communications and technology training, solutions or advice, entrepreneurs need tailored information and tools that suits their startup and small business needs.”
”Entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of every small business in Canada. Versature proudly supports Startup Canada to deliver resources and support to growing businesses across the country.” said Anastasia Valentine, Vice President Marketing, Versature. “Our team recognizes the importance of business communications for entrepreneurs and is delighted to offer all Startup Canada members a special Small Business Starter Kit VoIP bundle to help attendees build their business.”
The #EveryEntrepreneur Tour will launch on Oct. 14 in Halifax, N.S., and land in six Canadian cities before concluding in Toronto, Ont. on Dec. 14. Similar to Startup Canada’s inaugural tour in 2012, which engaged 20,000 Canadians in the largest-ever consultation on entrepreneurship in Canadian history, the #EveryEntrepreneur Tour will provide on-site inspiration, mentorship and training to thousands of entrepreneurs to help cultivate the next generation of anchor companies across Canada.
Each stop will include a full day of non-stop action with an un-conference-style program where business owners will hear from top entrepreneurs like Second Cup Co-Founder Frank O’Dea and Moxie Trades CEO Marissa McTasney. Entrepreneurs looking to up-skill are invited to participate in bootcamp-style training sessions in areas of finance, scaling, marketing and going global.
Versature gurus will be on relevant panels and be on-hand for Genius-Bar-Style support during our day long tradeshow. The Versature has a special Starter Kit VoIP bundle to offer attendees of the Startup Canada #EveryEntrepreneur tour. The Starter Kit is designed for small companies to kickstart their communications and help build their business.
Each #EveryEntrepreneur Tour stop will wrap up with a Startup Launch Party, which celebrates local entrepreneurship and innovation with startups, investors, supporters, corporations, government and media in attendance.
