PARTNERS & CAREERS
A direct line into student venture.
Growth Studio gives investors, accelerators, and operators a curated pipeline of pre-seed and seed founders — backed by McGill Ventures and its ecosystem of funds, programs, and founder communities.
POWERED BY McGILL VENTURES
Part of a bigger ecosystem.
Growth Studio is the startup consulting arm of McGill Ventures, McGill's student venture club. That means our work doesn't happen in isolation — every engagement is plugged into the club's network of student-run funds, accelerators, and innovation programs.
Partners get access to that whole ecosystem: campus events, founder communities, and investment pipelines spanning Front Row Ventures, the McGill Innovation Fund, Dorm Room Fund, the McGill Engine, and more.
WHAT WE OFFER
Value for the VC ecosystem.
We spend four hands-on weeks inside each startup we support. For investors and ecosystem partners, that translates into signal you can't get from a cold deck.
Curated deal flow
We work exclusively with pre-seed and seed founders — you meet companies we know from the inside, not from a pitch email.
Investor-ready companies
Founders leave our engagements with sharpened decks, structured pipelines, and validated go-to-market plans — meetings worth your time.
Trained student talent
Our consultants ship real fundraising and GTM work. Partners get first access to a pipeline of proven student operators.
Campus presence
Co-hosted events and programming with McGill Ventures put partners in front of Montreal's student founder community.
