What is this program about?

The Platform Incubator is a 12-month program for early-stage tech founders who are ready to scale - not with hype, but with intention.

You’ve built something that works. Now you're focused on growing it the right way: sustainably, strategically, and with real traction.

This program gives you a dedicated coaching team, seasoned entrepreneurs in your corner, and a tight-knit community of founders who know exactly what you’re going through because they’re living it too.

No cookie-cutter advice. No performative hustle. Expect candid conversations, expert support, and the kind of accountability that helps you turn progress into momentum.

This isn’t about growing fast at any cost. It’s about growing smart and building something that lasts.

"The program provided invaluable support as we worked to establish and grow our operations in Canada. The mentorship, resources, and networking opportunities have accelerated our progress and opened doors to partnerships we wouldn't have accessed otherwise. It’s been a game-changer for our team."
Davi Paraguai, BCLOUDER
"Being part of bi-weekly sessions with like-minded entrepreneurs and participating in seasonal board meetings with expert advisors, board members, and EiRs was an incredibly valuable experience. Their insights helped me view my business from multiple perspectives, especially during major pivots I faced throughout the program."
Omid Titidezh, IEP (International Education Platform)
"One of the best long-term incubator programs I’ve been part of. It helps you set realistic goals and supports you both personally and professionally. You never feel alone on the journey — regular check-ins with mentors and peers create a strong sense of community and shared learning. I highly recommend this program to any early-stage startup."
Jaber Ebrahimi, Visiwise
"It's a really powerful program for startups at the right stage. At the beginning of the program, we were a scrappy team of four - and now a strong, dynamic and highly efficient group of 12 that is built to scale. We’re not just founders; we’re leaders building something real, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the mentorship and support that helped us get here."
Manvir Grewal, The Reporting Hub
"The Platform Incubator has been a game-changer for our business. The support we received was outstanding, opening our eyes to new possibilities and opportunities. We're especially grateful for the valuable connections made and excited for the growth that lies ahead!"
Nelson Liem, Exmerce
"I joined Platform for the programming but stayed for the community. I found a group of mentors and peers all committed to lifting up Calgary businesses. I was constantly amazed at the generosity of my mentors and peers as they offered advice, contacts and comradery. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely at times, but at Platform I felt the warmth of a community."
Tracey Nyholt, TechJutsu
