Schulich and OneEleven announce Venture Studio as part of new Tech MBA
Schulich and OneEleven have formalized a joint ‘Venture Studio’ as part of the School’s new MBA in Technology Leadership (Tech MBA).
The Tech MBA program, the first of its kind in Canada, launches this September and will help develop the next generation of leaders for a business world that is increasingly tech driven.
The Venture Studio will be co-led by award-winning Schulich Adjunct Professor Chris Carder and will match teams of top students with member companies from both OneEleven and the Schulich Startups communities, completing pro bono strategic product and fundraising analysis for select startups.
The Venture Studio will also feature guest lectures by top founders and venture capitalists, project mentorship by leading innovators and investors, special joint events with OneEleven community members, and networking opportunities with OneEleven and the Schulich Startups community recruiting for new talent.
“This partnership will enable OneEleven to continue contributing to the ecosystem of talent and upskilling and we can’t wait to work with these leaders of the future,” says OneEleven Interim Managing Director Angelo Casanas. “Schulich is an iconic business education brand and we’re thrilled with this partnership.”
Professor Carder, who is now actively recruiting for additional Course Instructors, Guest Lecturers and Mentors, adds: “The Venture Studio will unlock a world of learning opportunities and relationships for our students. OneEleven is a dream partnership for us, with their impressive track record of supporting high-growth companies, which have raised more than $800 Million in follow-on funding in the past 24 months.”
