Community Stakeholders

When it comes to working with Community Stakeholders we have a one-size fits none approach. Each relationship we engage in is tailored for mutual benefit to achieve each organization’s goals, and assist in the development of Alberta’s innovation ecosystem.

VMSA works with the ecosystem
to accomplish shared goals.

Our Community members fall into three categories

Innovation Channel Stakeholders

Venture Funders

Corporate and Professional Stakeholders

Innovation Channel Stakeholders

VMSA works with others in the ecosystem to help support entrepreneurs and build coaching skills.

  • With VMSA's focus on the individual entrepreneur we complement programs and resources (accelerators, incubators, etc.) who support the business. If you help entrepreneurs “build the race car”, we can help “train the race car driver.”

  • VMSA offers continued guidance for entrepreneurs who graduate from other programs. 

  • VMSA acts as a source of referrals for entrepreneurs looking for more tactical or operational business support.

  • VMSA offers coaching training to program administrators, helping them build their own coaching capabilities and capacity for supporting entrepreneurs in their programs.
