“The SEE boot camp has been an excellent opportunity to learn and refine many skills that are crucial to my entrepreneurial growth! I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to budding entrepreneurs who wish to create a larger impact through their businesses and experience professional growth and development. The network of successful and up-and-coming entrepreneurs you make at the boot camp is invaluable!”
—Ashish Ganapathy Venkatasubramanian, Saint Mary’s University
“From laboratory dreams to business reality, Alaagi was born from my passion for environmental innovation and the incredible support of the Arthur L. Irving Entrepreneurship Centre by EduNova. The Summer Bootcamp pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helping me refine my vision and master essential entrepreneurial skills. In just 10 months, we’ve secured funding, built a dedicated team, developed a patent-ready prototype, and earned national recognition. Saint Mary’s University has provided vital resources, and I’m now furthering my research through a master’s program. None of this would have been possible without the transformative experience at the Entrepreneurship Centre, which turned ambition into reality.”
—Sheheryar Khan- Founder of Alaagi Inc.
