Attending to Scientist2Entrepreneur (S2E) Program! Finding my way into the world of startups!

In short: I spent a few months hunting for gaps where health, VR and machine learning meet, then joined the Scientist2Entrepreneur program to learn how to turn an idea into a product.

For the last couple of months I have been reading the literature and gathering information on the gaps at the meeting point of health, VR and ML. I came up with several ideas. A good idea does not guarantee a good result, though, so I also contacted a lot of places and met people who showed me how to bake an idea into an actual product, B2B or B2C.

That is how I found the Scientist2Entrepreneur (S2E) program. S2E runs for eight weeks. You look at entrepreneurship as an alternative career path: what your technology could be applied to, and how to build a network in the ecosystem.

S2E went national in January 2022. Before that it ran at the provincial level through Concordia University in Quebec, under the name Quebec Scientific Entrepreneurship Program.
