MaRS Innovation shifted my perspective from BlueDot's research to its potential as a global business. They worked with me to incorporate the company, develop a business plan and model suitable for a social enterprise, and hire key talent, while supporting me through BlueDot’s early stages of growth and development.

MaRS Innovation is doing some great things with great people. The honest war stories from seasoned entrepreneurs, tough love from advisors and direct support from people on the team are a rare find. MI and UTEST are and continue to be the reasons we're thriving as a business.

MaRS Innovation understood the value of my invention and saw its potential when others didn’t (they’re starting to now!). I’m grateful for the investment and mentoring I received through the UTEST program.

The UTEST program and MaRS Innovation have been fantastic for TrendMD; we would not be where we are today without them. Both from a strategic and financial perspective, UTEST definitely served as the initial spark that was crucial for getting us off the ground.

MaRS Innovation’s unique ecosystem allows innovators and researchers to keep the high impact of their innovation while enabling it with frameworks for commercialization. Their dedicated expert team allowed us to launch, structure and scale our company both in Canada and in the rest of the world while allowing us to maintain our research and academic mandates.

There is nothing more powerful I can say than the simple fact that we would not even exist as a company were it not for the UTEST program.

MaRS Innovation was a vital partner as we refined our technology, our business model and our go-to-market strategy. Without their support, and the support of UTEST, we would not be in the position we are today.

The guidance and resources that Mars Innovation has provided significantly excelled Nvest forward. We have appeared on major newspapers, formed important relationships with strategic partners, and developed stronger user acquisition strategy. Our progress and success to date and trajectory going forward could not have been achieved without the combined help of MaRS Innovation and UTEST.
