No More Dead-End Lists. We’re Building a Real One.

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.
