Canada’s startup scene deserves better.
Not another Slack channel. Not another echo chamber.
We’re talking about a real platform — built for founders, not funders.

Founded in Canada is now live.
And it’s here to connect the builders, back the bold ones, and make sure no one has to figure it all out alone again.

What’s FiC All About?

Why Now?

Because too many Canadian founders are building alone.
Because the ecosystem shouldn’t feel like a maze.
Because brilliance doesn’t just live in boardrooms — it lives in second bedrooms, garages, rez towns, small cities, and side hustles.

So this Canada Day, we’re not waving flags.
We’re claiming space. Together.

Plug in. Share something. Meet someone.
