Challenge
Why do so many entrepreneurs have difficulty finding venture funding? How can Canada help its most innovative companies to grow?
In the late 1990’s the Government of Canada recognized that most small firms are simply not "investor-ready". They lack the knowledge to attract venture capital. In short, there’s a dire need to provide entrepreneurs with the ‘know-how’ and encourage the growth and success of Canada’s most innovative firms.
Solution
Industry Canada engaged Learning Designs Online to create a full-scale, online interactive resource that gives entrepreneurs the essential knowledge and strategies they need to compete.
Steps to Growth Capital is a combination of eLearning courseware and resource kit. It offers owner/managers the opportunity to access the material either as a day-to-day reference source or as part of a continuing business education resource. Entrepreneurs can work through the nine online elearning modules to learn how to raise money and develop strategies to launch their business opportunity and achieve their business goals.
Steps to Growth Capital includes extensive tutorial materials, case studies and self-assessment tools.
