Mac AI Ventures — presented by the McMaster AI Society — seeks to bridge technical AI development with entrepreneurship and venture capital. In our inaugural 2020–2021 year, we are offering a pre-incubator program to help support new McMaster-led ventures, host weekly workshops on a range of topics, and provide pro bono valuation services to AI start-ups.
The Mac AI Ventures pre-incubator program facilitates the development of AI-centric technological projects and ideas into market-ready companies. The goal of this program is to introduce ambitious students to entrepreneurship, business development, and technology production for subsequent application to North American start-up incubators.
