## About York Entrepreneurship Development Institute

YEDI (York Entrepreneurship Development Institute) is a Toronto-based charitable organization, founded in 2013, offering structured incubator and business acceleration programs to entrepreneurs and not-for-profit innovators from any sector, tuition-free for Canadians and open internationally.

Its featured Incubator program places selected entrepreneurs in sessions led by YEDI professors and instructors, building a foundation in business theory and economics, while the separate Business Acceleration Program and Ventures in Residence connect founders with industry-expert committees at YEDI's dedicated acceleration campuses in Toronto.

YEDI's approach emphasizes mentorship, structured curriculum, and academic credentialing—outcomes include professionally developed business plans, executive summaries, and market-ready business models—prioritizing free-thinking, audacious entrepreneurs over conventional startup pedigree, with additional dedicated tracks for youth, international, and not-for-profit founders.
