Creative Destruction Lab Fellowship Program
Build Something Massive with the Creative Destruction Lab Fellowship Program
Launch your entrepreneurial ambitions with a total value of over $27,200 in a scholarship award, guaranteed placement in the Creative Destruction Lab strategy courses, and sponsored access to key events.
The Creative Destruction Lab at the Rotman School of Management is a seed-stage program for massively scalable technology-based ventures. When the Lab was launched in 2012, the goal was for the ventures going through the program to create $50 million in equity value within five years. Since that time, the equity value created has exceeded $8 billion.
The CDL Fellowship Program has been created to unlock the entrepreneurial ambitions of up to 20 incoming Full-Time MBA students who are committed to exploring careers in entrepreneurship and start-ups. Selected students are supported by financial awards of up to $27,000, guaranteed placement in the Creative Destruction Lab strategic courses, and sponsored access to key events.
Our goal is to provide students with the means to pursue start-up experiences as the ultimate catalyst for re-framing their perspective around a future career defined by original thinking and innovation – a direct result of spending a significant amount of time in a venture with a deep commitment to massively scalable opportunities. This program is deeply connected to our values and future state at Rotman where students emulate a culture of innovation and have an ability to contribute to the start-up ecosystem in Canada as Rotman alumni who are well prepared to “inspire the bold thinking needed to solve the most pressing problems of our time.”
