Sarrah Lal

Sarrah is Director of the Velocity Incubator.
Her goals are to 1) create a diverse and inclusive community in which founders help founders, 2) establish a world-class start-up support system and incubator experience, and 3) raise the profile of Canadian entrepreneurs.
Sarrah works alongside a talented group of business advisors, product development specialists, and operations experts to ensure that start-up founders and their high-performing teams have exactly what they need to build game-changing businesses that are VC-backable and ready to scale.
Before Velocity, Sarrah spent five years as a faculty member at McMaster University’s medical school.
Here, she worked to develop new competency-based training approaches for entrepreneurship education as well as institutional mechanisms to incentivize the commercialization of intellectual property among faculty members.
Her training combines science, biomedical engineering, law, and business.
What interests Sarrah: Sarrah enjoys mountaineering and backpacking adventures (with a strong preference for not running into grizzly bears).
