Description
Advice and guidance for all entrepreneurs venturing out on their journey of brainstorm to breakthrough, Fearless is the essential manual for success for entrepreneurs in Canada
Canada is a nation built on the hard work and ingenuity of individuals bold enough to brave harsh territories, huge distances, and stiff competition. Canadian innovators have been responsible for world-changing ideas like insulin and quantum computing, but also for more pedestrian, yet still ingenious ideas, like the paint roller, the light bulb, and wireless radio transmission. The reason Canadians aren’t known as well as Thomas Edison is often a matter of business, not brains.
Fearless is a collection of stories of amazing successes by Canadian entrepreneurs, of those who supported them, and of the things they all learned to “fear less” — such as failure, funding, and government regulations — along the way.
Fearless is also a celebration of 75 years of the National Research Council of Canada’s Industrial Research Assistance Program, a national initiative founded to provide advice, connections, expertise, and funding to Canadian innovators.
