At Startup Canada, we walk the talk of entrepreneurship every day.
We're motivated everyday to serve our community, one entrepreneur at a time. When they win, we win. We go the extra mile to help, and amplify their voices using our platform.
We support each other authentically, help each other grow, and achieve greater impact when we meaningfully collaborate. We celebrate our successes, challenge each other and lift each other in the pursuit of our mission.
We think like our community to better serve them - this means being resourceful problem solvers and innovators that value continuous improvement, and welcoming new ideas and experiments.
We set the bar high and we deliver. We don’t just show up—we bring our best work to the table every day. We move fast to go far, and we are deeply accountable for our work.
We punch above our weight to deliver high quality programs at a national scale with a local feel in partnership with Canada’s leaders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. We are collaborative and complimentary, not competitive.
