Blood on the Tracks: 6 Years of Technical Entrepreneurship in Ottawa
Twenty nine engineers and computer scientists completed the Lead-to-Win (LTW) program in Technical Entrepreneurship in 2002. Of the 29, 15 (52%) started technology businesses. Ten tried to attract venture capital funding and eleven tried to grow their companies with no venture capital funding. Seven did establish five technology businesses headquartered in Ottawa. These businesses attracted over $91 million from venture capital firms during one of the worst economic times to hit our Region. These businesses created over 280 jobs globally.
