Mentorship Program

OCRI Investment and Commercialization engages the valuable assistance of experienced business mentors to provide strategic advice to companies with a defined business problem on a case-by-case basis. Mentors supplement OCRI’s own business advisory services and are seasoned executives and entrepreneurs.

Mentorship may be general or specific depending on company needs and requirements. Mentors are pre-qualified and are assigned to work with company management based on an appropriate match of skills and fit between the mentor and company senior management. Most have started and grown successful global companies across the knowledge-based industries, raising significant funds from angel and venture capital investors, and have additional expertise in other areas like strategic partnership development, M&A or IPO experience. Mentors with specialized skills may be found from within and outside of the Ottawa region, capitalizing on the vast networks that OCRI has available including through its partnership in the Business Mentorship and Entrepreneurship Program (BMEP) a program of the Ministry of Research and Innovation and administered by MaRS.
