The Forge McMaster
The Forge is a business incubator for McMaster University students, alumni, and community members with new business ideas and startups. We work hands-on with entrepreneurs to develop their innovative business ideas, from ideation and validation to growth. We offer funding, mentorship, business advisory, pitch competitions, introductions to funders, investor readiness programming, office space, makerspace, and more. The Forge is sector agnostic, offering cohort-based programming to innovators pursuing scalable and novel startups. We do not take equity in the startups we support.
