McGill X-1 Accelerator: third week at a glance
For week 3 of the McGill X-1 Accelerator, the theme was Business Models and Startup Financials. Podlegal’s Philippe-Olivier Daniel got the ball rolling by telling participants to go for a distinctive company name that’s easy to defend, and by suggesting the book Venture Deals — Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist.
Desautels Professor Corey Phelps then led a workshop on business models and how to spend wisely at the startup phase. After that, the participants had their first advisory board meeting, a talk on accounting and banks by National Bank’s Francis Martel, and another Grilled By CEO session, this time with The Food Room’s Amelie Morency.
