1. Expectations & Application Overview
Welcome, entrepreneurs 🦄 Thank you for your interest in applying to eCo-op!
As a reminder, this is an individual application, if more than one member of your team wishes to apply, each must fill out their own application.
To build a strong eCo-op application, we recommend referring to the following SPARK modules when completing this survey:
- Questions 13, 14, 15 – Module 1
- Questions 14, 17 – Module 2
- Questions 17, 18 – Module 3
- Questions 19, 21 – Module 4
Please schedule your Mentor Meet meetings in advance, as availability will be limited as the eCo-op deadline approaches. Each student is allowed a maximum of 4 meetings per semester.
eCo-op is a unique and valuable opportunity for students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and take part in paid work-integrated learning through exploration, launch and/or growth of an idea, startup or venture with support from SFU’s Charles Chang Institute for Entrepreneurship. The significance of this opportunity goes beyond the paid salary - with access to workspace, mentoring, workshops, service providers and other business development opportunities, the cost to the Chang Institute to provide you this experience is ~$20K, and the experience you gain and networks you build is invaluable.
