For: youth & newcomer founders (15–29), mentors, partners, and impact investors who want to
turn ideas into sustainable ventures.
The Problem: talent is everywhere, but access isn’t — limited capital, networks, and space
keep great ideas from launching.
Our Role: a Black-led incubator with two tracks (Product & Media), two hubs (BYRC & 520
Alexander), and a Community Venture Fund that reinvests 30% of youth profits to fund the
next generation.

Quick Fit Check (filtering low-quality leads):

● ✅ You have a concrete idea or MVP (product, service, or media).
● ✅ You can commit to weekly training + reporting.
● ✅ You agree to the 30% reinvestment rule.
● ❌ You’re not ready to engage, or you want cash with no accountability.

[See Membership Criteria] → qualifies applicants before they apply

● Capital access: micro-grants ($500–$5K) and accelerator investments ($10K–$50K).
● Spaces that work: BYRC kitchen & café carts (Product Track); 520 Alexander studio &
Community Network TV (Media Track).
● Mentorship that matters: weekly coaching, demo days, investor readiness.
● Distribution & audience: retail pilots, café carts, and province-wide media reach.

Why Trust Us:

● Backed by respected community partners and funders (banks, foundations, civicpartners).
● 120+ youth trained through SSLP; multiple youth ventures launched.
● Transparent reporting, data tracking, and youth-first governance.
