A vibrant community for driven professionals, aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned business owners — built on networking, knowledge exchange and the power of connection.
Drinks, intros and a short founder talk — the regular room where Calgary builders meet.
We're a vibrant online community hosted on Meetup, dedicated to fostering networking opportunities, community engagement, and unlocking the benefits of joining forces with like-minded individuals.
Collaboration, shared experiences and knowledge exchange are pivotal in propelling your entrepreneurial journey forward — and we believe entrepreneurship is a force for positive change in Calgary's ecosystem.
From the Beltline to Inglewood, downtown to Kensington — we bring founders together across the city. Coffee on Stephen Avenue, talks near the Bow, mixers in the Beltline, the Rockies on the horizon.
And the timing's good: Calgary's startup scene raised $630M across 63 venture deals in 2024 — now Canada's 4th-largest VC market. There's never been a better moment to be building here, or a better room to do it in.
