Growth Catalyst Welcomes TD Bank and TD Ready Commitment as Named Partner for Capital Module

Growth Catalyst, the leading scale-up accelerator program for established businesses in Western Canada, is thrilled to announce the expansion of our relationship with TD Bank Group. Through the TD Ready Commitment, the bank has secured the sponsor naming rights for the GC Capital Module, further reinforcing its commitment to fostering entrepreneurial excellence.

The inaugural event under this collaboration took place on November 14th, at NAIT, Edmonton, coinciding with the session for Cohort 3. We were honored to welcome Shane O'Neill , TD's Senior Manager of Small Business Banking for the Prairie Region, to commemorate the launch of this significant collaboration.

“TD Bank Group is so proud to support Mount Royal University's Growth Catalyst program. Through the TD Ready Commitment, our corporate citizenship platform, we're helping prepare people for the jobs of tomorrow by investing in initiatives that build employable skills and nurture the development of local small businesses.” — Robert Ghazal , Senior Vice President & Region Head, for TD

The Capital Module is a pivotal component of the Growth Catalyst program, designed to equip business leaders with the essential knowledge and strategies to navigate the complexities of capital acquisition. Through a series of expert-led sessions, participants gain insights into various funding mechanisms, financial management, and investment strategies tailored to their business needs. The module serves as a critical stepping stone for businesses seeking to secure the necessary capital to fuel their growth journey, aligning seamlessly with one of the TD Ready Commitment's goals: to help people prepare for the jobs of tomorrow by investing in training, entrepreneurship and small business.

Teaming up with TD extends beyond naming rights for the Capital Module. The TD Ready Commitment also serves as a vital funder for the Growth Catalyst program. Recently, TD sponsored the successful online workshop, "TD Ignite & Innovate: Helping Women Entrepreneurs Master Business Growth," demonstrating a shared commitment to empowering entrepreneurs with actionable insights.

Growth Catalyst is grateful for this valuable partnership with TD as we continue to collaborate and nurture the growth of entrepreneurs across the region.
