A Message from our Site Lead and Director

JEFF LARSEN —Site Lead, CDL-Atlantic AVP, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Dalhousie University

2

Five years ago CDL-Atlantic launched at the Rowe School of Business at Dalhousie University with the intention of being a driver of innovation and entrepreneurship in Atlantic Canada. In the beginning, we were one of only five CDL sites that at the time were all based in Canada. As the smallest location we were committed to proving that we could deliver results just as well as our counterparts in Ontario, Alberta, BC and Quebec! We are now part of an ever expanding global network of 12 sites that also includes three locations in the US and four in Europe.

The evolution of our program since 2017 has been beyond our original expectations. At the conclusion of our five-year milestone, we are tremendously proud of the impact that CDL-Atlantic has had on our region. We have provided mentorship opportunities to 158 startups; helping Atlantic Canadian based companies to grow and scale, and introducing companies from outside our region to everything we have to offer. Our mentorship pool has doubled from 51 to 107, providing meaningful engagement between the university and the business community. We launched a specialty stream focused on oceans, which has connected us to the best international mentors and ventures in this sector. Perhaps most significantly our cumulative equity value creation is now just over $800 million, with the amazing $1 billion mark within our sights in the near future!

As you will see in the following pages, the 2021-22 program year had several exciting highlights.

Since our inception, we have been committed to ensuring our site represents all of the Atlantic provinces. We were delighted to be able to finally return to in-person sessions in May 2022, and to celebrate we hosted the events in collaboration with Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

This was the first time in five years that we took CDL-Atlantic on the road to another location.

We have developed strong connections with CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS

stakeholders across the region, and the success of our Newfoundland sessions has reinforced the value of hosting events in each province. Next year we will continue with this focus, taking our spring session to the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton.

Another highlight was our partnership with Ocean Visions Launchpad to support teams developing ocean-based carbon removal solutions, as part of the $100M XPRIZE competition funded by the Musk Foundation. We were thrilled when the competition announced that one of our CDL-Atlantic oceans ventures – Planetary – was awarded one of the XPRIZE Carbon Removal Milestone Awards valued at $1 million. Read more about what they are doing in our venture stories.

We are always striving to increase diversity at CDL, and this year we were proud to work with our colleagues at CDL-Montreal and CDL-Rockies on a pilot program for Female+ Founders. Our sites developed and delivered three pieces of additional programming with a gender-equity approach that provided our female+ technical founders additional growth opportunities. There is still more to be done, but we are committed to educating our stakeholders and empowering change by mobilizing the community to break down barriers.

If the first five years are any indication of the success CDL-Atlantic is having in our ecosystem, we can’t wait to see what is in store for the future.

We are grateful for the support of our community, which has allowed us to build something massive in Atlantic Canada.

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS

PRIME

NovaResp Technologies Inc. (NovaResp) is a medical technology company that is developing the world’s first AI-enabled predictive and preventative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. CPAP therapy is used to treat respiratory conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea. NovaResp’s proprietary cMAP software can be integrated into any existing CPAP machine and uses low-pressure therapy which requires less energy, allowing the venture to develop its own CPAP machine that can be battery-enabled, wearable, more comfortable and portable than existing solutions.

Mentors pushed NovaResp to refine its business plan so that it can accelerate getting to market while emphasizing the value of the company. NovaResp is now ready to raise a seed-plus round of USD $2 million and has already received interest and commitment from investors, including from investors in the CDL network.

Stream Highlights “ Zach (frenter) is a very motivated entrepreneur and is only 16 years old.

Throughout his time at CDL, Zach was able to learn and soak up every bit of knowledge, and apply it immediately.

Since he started at CDL-Atlantic, Zach built a functioning platform, found their first group of paying customers (and grew the customer base each session), closed a funding round, and has expanded their team.”

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS

PRIME

frenter is a B2B SaaS rental platform for consumers and businesses. Current technology for businesses who are looking to advertise their rental products and for consumers who are looking to contribute to the sharing economy are outdated, lack point-of-sale (POS) integration, and don’t collect relevant data to improve the business. Frenter’s platform acts as the “Shopify for rentals,” providing tools such as its quick-listing, AI-powered software for owners and renters to easily become a part of the circular economy.

OCEANS

Planetary Technologies is a cleantech company developing a highly-scalable, cost-effective negative emissions technology that permanently removes carbon from the air and stores it safely within ocean chemistry. It aims to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change through carbon removal while providing value-added carbon-negative or carbon-neutral products to industry.

Planetary Technologies was 1 of 15 winners of the XPRIZE Carbon Removal Milestone Award for its accelerated carbon transition platform.

CDL-ATLANTIC 2021–2022

In essence, the prize says “we believe that these solutions have the ability to go the distance.”

It shows confidence, based on deep diligence, that carbon removal technology will scale and that these companies can be trusted. That’s the big impact of the XPRIZE.

On The Rock Ten days before CDL-Atlantic was scheduled to host a session in St. John’s, Newfoundland ­­— the world shut down. Finally in May 2022, for the first time in over two years, we were able to host an in-person session again, so we took it to “The Rock” to close out the 2021/22 program year in Newfoundland!

“ Being back in person for CDL after two years of Covid — two weeks ago in Montreal and last week in St. John’s — reminded me of how special Creative Destruction Lab really is and what a game-changer it’s been for Canada.”

Student Engagement

“ I am grateful that the MBA program helped connect me to CDL where I felt like I could use my educational backgrounds in science and business to make an impact on growing startup companies.

After completing an 8-month work term with CDL as part of my MBA, I knew this is where I wanted to start my career: working directly with entrepreneurs who are driving massive innovations in sectors that hit close to home.”

— Carly Corkum

Real World Experiences CDL applies an experiential learning approach where students (MBAs, Commerce, Executive-MBA, etc) are matched with ventures enrolled in the program.

Students get the opportunity for first-hand immersion in the startup ecosystem by taking part in the life of a startup, working on key business development projects for CDL ventures for class credit and developing their entrepreneurial mindset.

This year we had over 40 MBA students participate in the CDL Course from four Atlantic Canadian Universities — Dalhousie University, Memorial University of Newfoundland, the University of New Brunswick, and Cape Breton University Turning a Student Work Term Into a Full Time Career For the last five years, CDL-Atlantic has hired a Dalhousie MBA student for their 8-month corporate residency. During this work term, the MBA student gets to work in a variety of areas, including program planning, event execution, research, and recruiting.

Since 2017, CDL-Atlantic has had six CRMBA students, three of whom have returned for full-time employment.

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS

“The students were fantastic.

They were prompt, organized, good communicators, intelligent and delivered us exactly what we needed. We could see all three of them working for us given the work product they provided. We endeavor to stay in touch with them well beyond the CDL program. From our point of view, this was a highlight for us, and with regards to the MBA program, with no area for improvement, it went extremely smoothly and to our liking.”

Eric Hubacheck Venture Founder, Turboplay

Enhanced Programming

CDL strives to provide experiences to foster an entrepreneurial mindset and encourage individuals to challenge themselves and current statistics.

Women represent 51% of the population yet continue to be underrepresented in technical studies and careers, women-led startups, and only 3% of all venture capital is deployed to women.

Through its commitment to educate and empower change, the CDL community continues to work towards breaking down such barriers through its enhanced programming.

Virgil Group Founder Celeste Leroux was impressed with the creativity of the students participating in the oceans module.

She receiver over 45 suggested names for her seafood traceability software.

CDL Apprentice Program The purpose of the CDL Apprentice Program is to address the gender gap in STEM. This is an online, multi-module program for women-identified individuals including two-spirit, transgender and non-binary people of 14-18 years of age. Individuals will have a curiosity for STEM-related topics and a keen interest for how science and technology is transforming the world and the opportunities available to the next generation of leaders.

This year the Apprentice Program offered 7 site-specific technological themed virtual modules to over 225 students representing 10 different countries.

For the Oceans Module, in February 2022, CDL-Atlantic welcomed 6 mentors and 2 Oceans tech company founders to lead discussions with students on the importance and challenges concerning Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Students also participated in a product branding & marketing exercise for a seafood traceability software.

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS

Female+ Founders This year over 80 participants from Canada’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem participated in a new initiative to support CDL female+ founders.

A collaboration between CDL-Atlantic, CDL-Montreal, and CDL-Rockies, this pilot program aimed at providing technical female+ founders access to additional educational and growth opportunities.

CDL-Atlantic took the lead on the delivery of CDL-Max, the final event in the pilot program designed to showcase and connect female+ led ventures from the three locations to mentors outside their home site.

One of the CDL Max venture founders from CDL-Rockies commented “I was happy to be able to connect with mentors that I had not yet been in front of. I thought the feedback was in valuable and it is great to see support for women lead ventures.”
