About this Event
Get ready to embark on your entrepreneurial journey with Startup 101, Platform Calgary's early-stage startup program. The startup scene can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're nurturing a business idea, exploring a new career path, or seeking solutions to real-world problems, Startup 101 can help you get started.
Startup 101 is for you if...
- You have an idea for a business and want tangible steps to get started
- You’re curious about what support is available to you, and how to use it

Startup 101 is a three-hour program, broken down into three segments:
- Startup fundamentals
- The problem, elevator pitches and customer discovery
- Calgary’s startup community and resources
This is an interactive experience, not a webinar! Your active participation is what makes this program exciting and impactful, leading to long-lasting tangible results.
