Chris Neumann, former Panache Ventures partner, has launched ‘Game On’, a new accelerator program aimed at Canadian technology startup founders to bridge the velocity gap between them and their Silicon Valley counterparts. The program is designed to expose early-stage Canadian founders to Silicon Valley’s fast-paced environment and facilitate connections with potential customers, partners, and investors. Applications are open until November 15, with the program running from January 5 to January 23, 2025, in San Francisco. Participants will engage in professional development activities, network with experienced entrepreneurs, and collaborate with mentors at Werqwise. Despite no cost for the program itself, participants must cover their transportation, lodging, and meals.
