Tasneem, a second-year bachelor of business administration student at UNB, developed her idea during the summer of 2020 when she was connecting start-ups with well-established businesses and organizations. During that time, the NBIF Newcomer Breakthru Competition 2021 was announced, giving her the perfect opportunity to brainstorm innovative ways of finding new investments for start-ups.
InvestoMedia will cover various business sectors, including agriculture, fishing, mining, and technology. The company’s website will host an “International Expo Week” to facilitate out-of-province collaboration and international networking opportunities.
Tasneem won the UNB Entrepreneurship Internship Award after her business proposal was recognized for its potential at the 2021 competition. This recognition, and her diverse experience working in executive positions with various UNB clubs and teams, helped her obtain an internship placement at Planet Hatch.
Approximately 95,000 start-ups are founded every year in Canada. Forty-two percent of these fail because there’s no market for their services or products; 29% fail due to cash shortage. These facts speak volumes on how start-ups struggle to raise funds and communicate efficiently with investors and established businesses.
