RADIUS’ Slingshot program helped us distil our business to its core. When we started, we felt like we were just barely staying afloat. Coming out of it, we’ve found a focus on our business model’s drivers and have become much more investment-ready. Would definitely recommend to any entrepreneur looking to put wind in their sails.

“Ecotrust Canada’s partnership with RADIUS SFU has leveraged the strengths of both organizations to create entirely new models for action, knowledge development and real world impact. Building capacity in students and community, I believe their work creates critical linkages to authentically engage the university in complex problems with community.”

“I not only learned so much out of this class, but also from the people in it. This course really fosters a community of students who are just as competitive and hardworking as they are eager and willing to help...I also felt a sense of pride when helping others and offering my tidbits of knowledge. I loved how non-static everyone was as well, growing and struggling alongside me.”

I’m grateful for the chance collaborate with RADIUS and open doors for Health Science undergraduate students interested in exploring social innovation and how it relates to health! We’ve done some amazing work together including building Health Change Lab in Surrey, and working with RADIUS has influenced my work broadly at SFU.

RADIUS changed my life. It came to me at a time when I was stuck both personally and professionally. I never realized the power of goals, collaboration, and like-minded communities. I feel ready, and set with the right tools to grow personally and begin a meaningful career. I no longer feel stuck.

“This workshop provided really tangible ways to incorporate social innovation into my role as CSR manager.”
