In 2019, Santiago Guzmán, founder & Artistic Director of TODOS Productions, participated in the first-ever Atlantic Canada Study and Stay™ NL Program SEED Funding Competition. The objective of the SEED Funding Competition was to support the development of international student entrepreneur business ventures from ideation to commercialization in the province. After pitching TODOS Productions to a selected jury of local entrepreneurs, Guzmán was awarded $5,000 in seed funding to help accelerate the startup phase of their business in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Since then, TODOS Productions has actively tried to create artistic initiatives and platforms for emerging, diverse artists in our provinces that have something to say.
