Launch Challenge by Spring Activator

The City of Campbell River has partnered with Spring Activator, a global incubator and accelerator that empowers entrepreneurs and entrepreneur ecosystem organizations, to create the Launch Challenge, a newly-established $10,000 grant fund to help entrepreneurs and business owners in various communities in British Columbia and the Yukon to invest in launching a new business, product, or service, or in launching an existing product or service in a new market.

The Challenge is designed to equip businesses with new skills to thrive through the completion of online learning within the Business Resilience Program. Entrepreneurs need help to survive and thrive during this challenging recovery period, and donors, funders, and communities are looking for a way to provide support for these businesses.
