History and overview

Exploriem was founded in 2001, and incorporated in 2004, by Professor Bruce M. Firestone, Todd Jamieson and Professor John Callahan of the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University. For the first eight years of its existence, Exploriem focused on teaching, mentoring, hosting a speaker series and other events including the Annual Bootstrap Award.[1] The awards' focus is on self-capitalized companies and early-stage companies that rely on building real cash flow.[2]

Exploriem provides tools intended to assist entrepreneurs, including an online "Entrepreneurialist Culture Quotient Test"[3] and a business model generator.[4] Exploriem provides a monthly internet radio show for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and artpreneurs.[5] The organization partners with outside organizations such as Invest Ottawa[6] and Lead to Win.[7]
