EARLY STAGE ADVISOR

We are seeking an experienced entrepreneur to join Invest Ottawa’s talented team of Advisors. This Early-Stage Advisor will assist early-stage startups (primarily those in the IO Ignition and IO Flex programs) in building the foundations of their business.

OUR COMPANIES

The IO Ignition companies are at the earliest stage of building their business. They are generally first-time founders that are eager to learn and join the startup community. The stage of product can range from an idea scribbled on a napkin to a fully functioning prototype. Similarly, some founders will have never spoken to a customer while others are making early sales. They rarely have a team of employees, so the founder must learn how to prioritize competing demands while setting the foundations for success.
Our companies are seeking the ultimate generalist, who can share their experiences (the good and the bad!) from their entrepreneurship journey and help our founders make informed business decisions. They are looking for advice on validating the problem they have identified, getting substantial customer feedback, building a tech product, accessing early funding, hiring their first employees and building an online presence. They want to be held accountable with actionable takeaways to push their vision forward.
