The Wings program provides early stage founders with tools and guidance to help them assess the feasibility of their business idea, validate their proposed value proposition, and begin the development of a viable business model. This program is available to early stage knowledge-based company founders based in Kingston and Eastern Ontario. The founders should have a product idea identified, with at least a prototype or alpha version created or a proof of concept in the case of products with significant research and development requirements.The program spans 10 weeks and is delivered virtually. Participants must commit to attend all four day-long sessions and to work towards the program milestones between sessions – all of which will have direct business relevance.
