Meet the Founders of the First Platform Pre-Accelerator Cohort
We’re excited to introduce the inaugural cohort of the Platform Pre-Accelerator — a group of founders building solutions across healthcare, construction, transportation, agriculture, e-commerce, and more.This 9-week, in-person, execution-first program is designed for founders who have moved beyond the idea stage and are actively testing their product in-market — working to define their ideal customer, validate demand, and build a repeatable path to early traction. The cohort brings together Calgary-based founders who are building, experimenting, and working to turn early progress into structured, consistent execution.

After three sold-out editions, Founders’ Lounge is back this May with a powerful focus on the tools — and risks — shaping the future of entrepreneurship. This month, we’re bringing together trailblazing founders, legal experts, and tech builders who are pioneering AI-driven business models and navigating the complex realities of startup risk management. This isn’t a lecture — it’s an interactive, Q&A-style conversation designed to spark real dialogue, insights, and connections.
