Behind the bench with HYPERDRIVE's head coaches

When it comes to great coaching, there’s no substitute for experience.

And when it comes to startups, few Canadian entrepreneurs can match the depth of experience Ted Hastings and Steven Woods bring to their roles as head coaches of HYPERDRIVE, Communitech’s new $30+ million incubator program.

Hastings’ fearlessly aggressive pursuit of growth, along with Woods’ technical brilliance and team-building skills, make for a potent mix behind the bench at HYPERDRIVE, where they will lead a network of more than 100 mentors.

HYPERDRIVE sat down separately with Hastings and Woods recently, to ask them how they will approach the job of taking early-stage companies from seed level to Series A-ready in 24 months. Their insights will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in starting and growing a successful tech company.
