With this in mind, we wish to create a new venture design workshop which will teach important skill such as design-centric thinking, leadership, brainstorming and business basics.</div><div><br/></div><div>The existing new venture design course is only open to commerce and engineering students.

<span style== "font-size:small;">There are many resources on campus provided by entreprenurship@UBC to enable new ventures to connect with mentorship and potential customers, however, access to capital is sparse as the requirements to access the UBC Seed Fund are stringent.<br/span> ==
