4. 1.2 ABOUT STARTUP COMMUNITIES
Healthy and vibrant entrepreneurial communities at a local level are the heart of supporting and driving
the growth of startups.
Startup Canada Communities is a pan-Canadian network to provide entrepreneurs with a single
doorway to enter their local entrepreneur community to access mentors, space, funding and support to
start and grow their businesses and to connect with other startup founders online and on the ground.
This initiative is a response to the call-to-action from more than 20,000 entrepreneurs in 40
communities who made their voices heard during the Startup Canada National Tour last year, calling for
stronger, more connected and more active local startup communities to accelerate entrepreneur
success.
In May 2013, Startup Canada launched 15 pilot communities as the first wave of its national network.
This pilot has built the framework and infrastructure to support the roll-out of Startup Communities
across Canada in 2014.
5. 1.3 ABOUT STARTUP COMMUNITIES
Startup Canada Communities is laying the foundations of a national infrastructure of hyper-connected and
vibrant grassroots startup communities for entrepreneurs to tap into to start and scale their ventures.
The macro objectives of the Startup Communities program are to:
1. Cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship and a pay-it-forward mentality within the community
2. Bring together the entrepreneurship community with a common vision and strategy with entrepreneurs
leading the way
3. Increase the number of startups and the growth and success of startups
4. Increase jobs, revenues and the desire and propensity of entrepreneurs to grow and keep their startups
in the community
5. Increase visibility and public awareness of entrepreneurs on a local and national scale
6. Increase access to and effectiveness of entrepreneur support services
7. Remove redundancies and identify and fill gaps in support available
8. Increase local connectivity to the national and global startup networks, support and infrastructure
6. 1.4 VISION

Canada will have a ‘Startup Community’ and that
this network will be as mainstream and
recognizable as community centres and libraries –
a Pan-Canadian entrepreneur community and
acceleration network to advance the success of
Canadian entrepreneurs.
7. 1.5 VALUES
Startup Communities are guided by core values that all communities must
embrace to be effective in cultivating entrepreneurship:
1. Startup Communities are led by entrepreneurs

actors and entrepreneurs
3. Leaders must have a long-term vision and plan
4. The community must be inclusive to anyone who wants to belong to it (not just
tech)

entrepreneurial stack
