On June 6 and 7, the IDEABOOST Accelerator’s Cohort 8 returned to the Watershed Coworking Space in downtown Toronto for their third sprint session. Read on to see photos from the two-day event.

In Sprint Three, our founders were able to take the insights they gained from the previous sprints and put them into practice with guests from a variety of industries, including Justine Whyte, Director and Executive Producer, CFC Features (pictured above, second from right). 

Mentors, guests and founders catch up before a round of insight sessions.

Our Cohort 8 founders began the Sprint by presenting their most succinct pitches – four minutes long each – to their mentors and guests.

Industry guests Leah Zaidi (left) and Rachel Noonan (centre) offered a fresh perspective to Mondo Forma co-founder Jonah Brotman (right).

The mentors gather to prepare for the final sprint, which will take place in July.

Industry guest Mark Walker went in depth with our Cohort 8 companies to explore how each of them can improve their sales process.

After the sprint, our mentors and founders took a field trip to The Funhouse Toronto, an interactive art maze created by one of our Cohort 8 companies, Mondo Forma.
