On motion by Joe Curto, it was resolved:
That City of Kitchener staff, in collaboration with Communitech, identify clear metrics to evaluate the success of this partnership investment, to include:
- The total number of startups supported by the identified programs;
- The location as to where founders in the identified programs originated from and where they eventually locate their business;
- The total number of new jobs created for the region through the programs supported by the City; and,
- The total number of founders and startups that engaged in the identified programs in-person at the Communitech Hub.
Where possible, that Communitech provide metrics on a program-by-program basis.
