Background
Since its establishment in 2009, the Engineering Entrepreneurship @UVic Program has spawned seven startup companies; Tutela Technologies, Referral SaaSquatch, Pretio Interactive, Encepta, Echosec Systems, Certn, and Revela. Of 21 students who have gone through the program, 16 have graduated the program and immediately founded or co-founded companies. This 100% success rate separates the E@UVic program from global competitors and is due in part to the extensive effort put in by program coordinators. These 21 graduates have created seven E@UVic founded companies, whose combined staff of over 180 and which produce over $40M in annual revenues. The program and its companies continue to grow with the help of its partners and sponsors.
