Velocity is here to help you at any stage of your project, from generating ideas to starting a full-time career as a founder and beyond. We support any member of the University of Waterloo community, students, staff, and faculty.

We provide programs and advisory support to train you in the skills and mindset that will help you become a successful founder. We connect you with a community of founders who have been where you are and want to support you as they were supported by those who came before them. We also provide the physical spaces needed to build products and connect with other students.
