Venture Co-Creation

From fresh ideas to business growth -
we help alumni make it real

Are you a Durham College alum with a new idea - or a business you’d like to grow in new ways? CI Ventures is here to help.

As part of the Alumni Entrepreneurship Package, we’re offering free 1:1 consultations with a CI Ventures business analyst. These sessions are designed to give you clarity on your next steps, whether you’re:

  • Exploring a startup concept,

  • Looking to validate and shape an idea, or

  • Running an existing business and ready to innovate or expand.

What you’ll get

After your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized Venture Snapshot - a short brief highlighting your idea or business opportunity, potential risks, and recommended next steps.

It’s a simple way to get expert feedback and discover the support and resources available to you as part of the alumni community.
