“Collaskins had a lot of fun with the Imaginal team and learned a lot. The CBOS method is novel and really resonated with our team. It helped us more effectively assess, focus and set a course to scale our startup.”

“Each session was very well run and organized, and it was great to connect and hear from other founders. We got to know each other and went through some solid programming.”

Atlantic Canada Healthcare Solutions Scale-up and Investment Challenge Program

Johanna Mercer, CEO, Scotiaderm

“I recently participated in Imaginal’s 12-week scale up challenge with a cohort of healthcare sector companies. The hours I spent with the facilitators and other company members were the highlight of each week.

The program is a deeply thoughtful, engaging exploration of vision and values, HR, capability planning, resource allocation, branding, positioning, and growth that shone a light on our current activities and next steps.

Because Imaginal practices what it teaches, the generous and open sharing amongst participants – each at a different phase of development – was remarkable. It was a privilege to learn from them as well.

I’m very grateful to have been included and would strongly encourage anyone who wants to build a healthy, respectful, responsible, and creative business to engage with Imaginal.”

Sean Margueratt, MASc., PEng. CEO and Cofounder, DeCell Technologies Inc.

“The Atlantic Canada Heath Solutions Scale-Up Program, delivered by Imaginal Ventures, provided an exceptional learning opportunity for Decell Technologies Inc. to implement sustainable growth strategies. Laurissa and Lauren created a supportive and interactive environment with peers to test learned evidence-based techniques. I believe that they have helped DeCell build the necessary foundation to realize our vision and impact global patient care. Thanks to the team at Imaginal Ventures and those who supported this program.”
