Student Founders Program

Run by Edmonton Unlimited.

Edmonton Unlimited's Student Founders Program runs 16 weeks in person, with the cohort dated 4 May to 18 August 2026 and Tuesday evening sessions weekly on the Launch stream or fortnightly on the Grow stream. It is free to participants, funded by Alberta Innovates through the Edmonton Regional Innovation Network; the page mentions modest honorariums on completion but states no per-startup cheque. No funding is invested by the programme, so no equity is taken.
