Advice.

Up-Start Winners: Our clientsWe match qualified entrepreneurs with MaRS advisors.

You'll get the right advisor for your venture, stage of business development and location. Our advisors have been successful entrepreneurs—starting and leading global companies, exploring new markets, developing new products and services and raising capital.

As a MaRS client, you’ll also get access to services such as market intelligence. Practical learning programs. And connections to strategic partners.

All at no cost to you. A combination of private and public funding allows MaRS—a charitable organization—to offer these services.
