Join Lead to Win and drive massive innovation in Canada's Capital Region.

If you are serious about starting a profitable technology-based business in
the National Capital Region during the current economic downturn, we invite
you to apply to Lead to Win (LTW).

LTW is a proven program for talented technology individuals who wish to
establish and grow successful businesses in Canada's Capital Region.  Past
program participants have come from a wide range of backgrounds, including -
sales, business development, product managers, design engineers, systems
analysts, and management.  LTW previously ran during the 2002 economic
downturn.  Out of the 29 participants in 2002 - over half launched a new
business.  Collectively those businesses created over 300 new jobs and
attracted over $90M in investment.

The first 2009 LTW training session starts May 19, 2009. If you have what
it takes, we encourage you to apply immediately.  Applications are now being
accepted online at www.leadtowin.ca.

The LTW program is free to qualified applicants - no strings attached, no
small print, no surprises.  Our region is investing to make LTW participants
successful for the benefit of the individual and the community.

LTW has three phases. In the first phase, you apply online.  Qualified
applicants will then be invited to meet with LTW leadership.  Participants
will be selected based on their experience, commitment, and opportunity
profile. In the second phase, you participate in an intense six day training
program where you will learn how to lever business ecosystems, profitably
serve attractive vertical markets, and the key factors that contribute to
the ultimate success of a fledgling technology company. Upon completion of
this second phase, you will be well equipped, and encouraged, to launch your
new technology businesses in the National Capital Region.  In the third
phase, LTW connects you to strategic customers, revenue opportunities, and
individuals, companies and organizations that can provide requisite
resources, including capital.

LTW is supported by The City of Ottawa, The Talent First Network, alumni
from the 2002 Lead to Win program, community expertise, and faculty members
and graduate students of Carleton University’s Technology Innovation
Management program (www.carleton.ca/tim).
