The Spin Master Innovation Fund officially announces the recipients of its 2014 program. In partnership with Spin Master Ltd. and co-financing partners, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and Futurpreneur Canada we’re pleased to introduce Canada’s next group of innovative young entrepreneurs who are ready to take their business to the next level.

These entrepreneurs each will receive a start-up package of up to $50,000 in financing from Futurpreneur Canada and BDC, and a hand-matched mentor from Futurpreneur Canada’s industry-leading mentoring program. The recipients will also come together on October 2-3 in Toronto to attend a two-day Innovation Launch Pad Workshop.

This year was a record-breaking year. We had the most finalists, virtual pitches, and the widest representation of businesses across all of Canada in this programs history. Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
