Canada’s Innovation Map Is Coming — and You Can Shape It.
Hey Builder —
We’re not live yet. And that’s the point.
We’re building a real-time, founder-first ecosystem map for innovators across Canada. But before we launch, we’re opening the doors to the people shaping it — founders, orgs, and signal-boosters like you.
This is your moment to jump in early and help decide what goes on the map.
What You’ll Get (Before Everyone Else)
Early access to Canada’s only live, filterable startup ecosystem map
First, look at open funding, programs, and events that actually matter
A say in what gets listed, featured, and shouted from the rooftops
We’re not another resource graveyard.
We’re building the map — not the maze — for founders tired of chasing dead links and ghost orgs.

🧠 Why FiC Exists (and Why Now)
“I found the perfect grant… after the deadline.”
“I applied to 3 accelerators and got ghosted.”
“There are 100 orgs, but none that actually reply.”
Yeah. We heard it too.
So we’re building:
✅ A map of what’s live, relevant, and open
✅ Tools and support you can actually use
✅ Visibility for the builders who usually get buried
✉️ Last Ask Before Launch
If you’re reading this — you are the ecosystem.
We don’t need everyone. Just the right ones.
✨ Or hit reply and tell us what’s missing. We’re real people — promise.
Let’s make Canada easier to build in.
