Welcome to WatStart

There is no better place in Canada to launch a technology company than Waterloo

This area is deep in support services for early-stage and start-up technology companies and we have an unbeatable pool of high-tech talent to help you build a world-class team. Over $100 million in venture capital is managed within Waterloo Region and investors from Toronto and beyond are eager to find high-potential companies in this area.

Through WatStart, you can interact with fellow early-stage entrepreneurs and meet some of the leading service providers in the area.

WatStart creates opportunities for early-stage entrepreneurs to get together—online and in person—with each other and with local service providers to learn from each other and to receive ongoing guidance, support and encouragement.

If you would like to be invited to WatStart events, please send an e-mail to gary@garywill.com. WatStart events are not posted on the website—we only have space for legitimate startup tech entrepreneurs (actual or prospective). If you're in that group, we'd love to have you come to the events. Just drop us a note so we can send you the notices. We run about one event each month, often in partnership with the Accelerator Centre.
