Fostering a Collaborative Canadian Startup Ecosystem
Companies Raising is a non-profit initiative dedicated to leveling the playing field in the Canadian early-stage tech ecosystem. We're building a community that promotes transparency for startups seeking funding and ensures equitable access to investors—from angels and family offices to VCs—empowering founders from all backgrounds to succeed.
Simplifying Fundraising for Founders
Raising capital is tough, especially without a strong network to tap into. Who are the right investors, and where do you even start finding them?
That’s why Companies Raising was formed. Submit your pitch deck to our community of investment professionals, and we’ll help connect you with investors who are specifically interested in your industry and stage. Our mission is to give every founder equitable access to the right investors—no matter your background.
First distribution to investors: Aiming for late January 2025
Streamlined Startup Leads
You know the drill - we're all navigating the same ecosystem, attending the same events, and combing through the same lists. To save time and effort, we’re sharing curated lists of Canadian startups currently raising capital.
No more manual labor, just clean, actionable leads to help you stay ahead in the game and strengthen the ecosystem together.
