What is Blueprint?
The Blueprint Program is designed to give student entrepreneurs a chance to develop and grow their ideas and businesses. In order to do this Blueprint has created a unique opportunity by providing them with business advice, mentorship, and funding, which makes this Program much more than a business competition.
How it Works
Undergraduate students at Brock University and recent graduates (no more than 2 years since graduation) with a budding business or even just a creative business idea should submit an application and proposal to the Blueprint Program.
If a team of individuals wishes to submit an application, at least 50% of the team members must be Brock University undergraduate students, or recent graduates.
