Homecoming: So you think you have the next big idea? Vous pensez avoir une idée géniale?

So you think you have the next big idea? You think you have what it takes? The McGill ecosystem has quietly produced a series of successful companies over the past years.

As we emerge from the pandemic, we will take this opportunity to celebrate some of those successes and the people behind them.

Bringing together a group of enterprising alumni/students, at various stages of growing their businesses, to discuss their challenges and successes, and identify some key takeaways to inspire the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.

Join Marie-Josée Lamothe, Academic Director of the Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship, as she discusses the challenges and joys of building a business with three McGill Founders and a well-known Investor.
