About the organizer
Communitech was founded in 1997 by a group of entrepreneurs who joined forces to help each other build successful companies. They saw the need for a community to help ensure the future prosperity of Canada, and Communitech was born.
Today, we are Canada’s tech supercharger. Still guided by a mission to help founders start, grow and succeed, we are a supportive community at every stage of the founder journey. We provide accelerated opportunities for startups, scale-ups and at-scale companies to access talent, capital and sales.
We help founders:
- hire and retain the smartest, brightest and most experienced team
- access growth financing at every stage
- sell to the biggest customers at home, and then around the world
- connect the right people at the right time – peers who have been there before, coaches who can guide them through the difficult spots and partners from all over Canada
