As the days quickly roll into the end of July, we hope you are in full summer mode, basking in (SPF protected) sun with vacation plans to travel safely around BC or, in many cases, the nooks and crannies of your own backyard. 

With applications for our Lab2Launch and CORE (formerly known as Core Technology) venture building streams open until August 10th, we thought we'd dig into some entrepreneurship@UBC myth-busting FAQs.
