Startup Canada is a national, entrepreneur-led grassroots effort that launched in May 2012 to bring together and give a voice to the Canadian entrepreneurship community.
From May to September 2012, Startup Canada embarked on a 6-month cross country tour as a nation-wide community building exercise to kick-start a conversation about how we can better support Canadian entrepreneurs and cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship.
The Tour brought together 20,000 Canadians and 300 partners through 200 events fuelled by hundreds of volunteers.
In addition to town hall meetings, expert discussions and more than 500 video interviews with some of Canada’s leading entrepreneurs, Startup Canada brought the conversation online through social media and online campaigns.
The Tour provided a platform for the Canadian entrepreneurship community to come together, share ideas, identify gaps and opportunities, resulting in the largest entrepreneurial consultation in Canada.
We’re excited to share the journey with you. You can find all of the details about the event HERE.
