Our Founding
This is the story of how our company came to fruition within the nurturing environment of a business incubator.
An idea
It all began with a spark of an idea, and a drive to make a difference. As aspiring entrepreneurs, we found ourselves navigating the intricate landscape of starting a business. However, our journey took a transformative turn when we entered the doors of the John F. Wood Centre, a beacon of support and guidance for startups.
Guidance
The Research Innovation Office helped turn our ideas into real-world impacts. They support students and faculty in starting successful ventures by offering innovative thinking, mentorship, and resources. With years of experience in early-stage entrepreneurship and technology commercialization, they understand the challenges faced in this journey. Their guidance and support make the process easier and more rewarding.
Determination
Amidst countless late nights and relentless determination, we successfully transformed our ideas into reality. The John F. Wood Centre and Research Innovation served as a crucible for creativity, fostering an environment where creativity thrived. It was within these walls that the foundation of our company was laid.
Today
As we emerged from the incubator, we carried with us not only a robust business strategy but also a sense of gratitude for the unwavering support that propelled us to where we are today. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain deeply indebted to the John F. Wood Centre, who helped us found the company, and set us on the path to success. Our roots may have begun within its walls, but our aspirations know no bounds as we strive to make a lasting impact in the world.
