SUMMARY:IDEA START Venture & Innovation Community Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the IDEA START HQ for our community meetup where we'll focus on our individual journeys and opportunities to connect!\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n \n\n\n	Your innovation & entrepreneurship journey - what are your needs\, interests\, and motivations?\n	Networking and connecting with mentors\, peers\, and facilitators\n	Founder game for entrepreneurial connection\, growth\, and fun!\n	Hear from this month's guest mentor or emerging entrepreneur\n	Pizza and pop provided!\n\n\n \n\nThis month Devon Bath & Naim Ben Younes from GradFinder will be joining us for a "Member Speak"!\n\n \n\nDevon Bath and Mohamed Naim Ben Younes are the co-founders of GradFinder\, a centralized AI-powered marketplace designed to connect prospective graduate students with supervisors more efficiently. As graduate students at the University of Manitoba\, Devon and Naim recognized an opportunity to improve the often complex and outdated process of finding a supervisor. Inspired by their own experiences\, they set out to create a more streamlined and accessible solution. They've been building GradFinder for the past year and a half and are now preparing for a soft launch this July.\n\n \n\nPlease note: The building doors will be unlocked from 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM and Parking is free in SP1 after 4:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn case you haven't joined us at an I-VIC meetup yet\, these meetups are split into 5 parts:-\n\n\n	Hearing our guest mentor or member's story\n	Dividing into "Journey Groups" to connect with others in a similar place on their own journeys (e.g. From those who are "Exploring Entrepreneurship and Innovation" to those who are "Achieving Success")\n	There may be a founder game or activity that supports connection\, learning\, and growth\n	Collaboration requests and ecosystem updates\n	Connection and networking (plus pizza and pop!)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?
