Communitech
We help Canada’s tech founders start, grow and succeed.
Starting and scaling a tech company is anything but easy. We’re here to help at every step. For more than 25 years, we’ve helped founders like you build strong teams, access capital and commercialize products.
Join Communitech to get connected – to peers who have been there before, coaches who can guide you through the tough spots, and public and private partners to help you compete globally.
Purpose-built for the tech community
Communitech was brought to life by founders who saw the need for a community of support for Canadian tech. Our products are directly informed by needs identified by our tech community.
We’re all about the “F” word.
Founders, that is. Established in 1997 by a group of tech founders, our mission to help has been our guide for more than 25 years.
Today, Communitech consists of roughly 100 awesome humans, all pulling together to help Canada’s founders start, grow and succeed.
As Canada’s tech supercharger™, we help founders with:
Talent
Hire and retain the smartest, brightest and most experienced people.
Capital
Access growth financing at every stage.
Markets
Sell to the biggest customers at home and around the world.
Community
Connect the right people at the right time – peers who have been there before, coaches who can guide them through difficult spots and partners from all over Canada.
Our guiding principles
We work closely with a lot of people, from founders, investors and partners to team members and the broader community – all of whom have placed their trust in us to deliver value and do right by them. We are committed to earning this trust, day in and day out.
The best address for tech in Canada
The Communitech Hub™ is a clubhouse for the Canadian tech community. Focused on world-leading collaboration and innovation, the Hub brings together key players—from startups and global brands, to government agencies, academic institutions, tech incubators and accelerators—to create an environment like no other.
Make the Communitech Hub your company’s office space.
Trust is part of Canada’s brand. Leveraging that trust is Canadian tech’s opportunity for competitive advantage.
There’s no denying that technology has an impact on all aspects of life, the environment and all people. We believe that all organizations that create and use technology must do so with intent for the good of humanity and of the planet that sustains us.
Being committed to Tech for Good is an unofficial prerequisite for Communitech membership. Companies joining our innovation ecosystem must share in our steadfast commitment to ensure that their tech continues to uphold the principles outlined within the Tech for Good declaration.
In 2018, at Communitech’s True North Festival, we developed and published the Tech for Good Declaration alongside the Rideau Hall Foundation and the Governor General of Canada. This declaration was built to create an ongoing dialogue between all Canadians about the meaning of Tech for Good and provides a set of guiding principles that all aspiring organizations can follow.
