What we do
With our rigorous incubator and accelerator program, we help turn ideas into fundable start-ups, and start-ups into global businesses.
Together with our mentor network of leading entrepreneurs, community leaders and business investors, we provide you with the tools to access customers, develop and take your product to market, and fundraise in Canada and the U.S.
We also provide funding support either through a direct investment or through connecting you to our network of VCs and angel investors.

Our Community
Access to major markets and meaningful capital.
In the first half of 2021, Canadian startups raised $6.3 billion across 414 deals. Canada is currently experiencing a venture explosion, leading to results that are unprecedented. British Columbia alone in 2021 produced 9 tech unicorn businesses valued at more than $1 billion dollars. Canadian companies have clearly reaped the benefits of being in close proximity to Asia, America and European markets, unrivaled access to world-class talent pool, and generous public and private funding support.

Why Canada
One of the highest standards of living in the world.
Western Canada provides a safe, clean and high quality of life to live and build a business. In fact, the two largest cities: Calgary and Vancouver, were both listed in the top ten most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit. Startup founders in Canada have the security of a stable economy, a skilled workforce, low corporate taxes and access to government grants and tax credits.
