We believe that it takes great founders to build great companies. Our job is to help founders achieve their dreams. We keep them focused and provide the resources they need to grow quickly. We’re ready to remove obstacles and open doors. We apply the right pressure to help founders move faster and hold them accountable when necessary. Our goal is to help founders discover the greatness within themselves. Velocity founders are tackling problems in every sector and in every country. They measure impact in lives saved, dollars earned, miles travelled, minutes recorded, and smiles created. While Velocity welcomes founders from around the world, we are proud to be the flagship entrepreneurship center at the University of Waterloo, the top school for entrepreneurs in Canada. From UWaterloo’s inception, the research conducted at the university and its world-renowned co-op program have reinforced a culture of solving real problems, learning on the job, and having global impact. Velocity is committed to providing the highest caliber of experiential business training, nurturing ambitious individuals from around the globe to thrive as founders in the innovation economy. Our mission is to empower aspiring entrepreneurs to unlock their fullest potential—not just as problem solvers, but as visionary leaders and global citizens.
