Communitech helps founders
start, grow and succeed.
We set the stage so founders can take the spotlight.
We were founded in 1997 to provide startups with community, connection and support.
Communitech is a place where founders, partners, policymakers and talent come together to create something bigger than any one company.
Nearly three decades later, we’re still all-in on supporting founders and their teams through change, emerging technologies and whatever the market throws their way.

The best address for tech in Canada
The Communitech Hub™ is a clubhouse for the Canadian tech community. Focused on world-leading collaboration and innovation, the Hub brings together key players—from startups and global brands, to government agencies, academic institutions, tech incubators and accelerators—to create an environment like no other.
Make the Communitech Hub your company’s office space.
Technology is changing how we work, live and connect.
We believe anyone building or using tech should do it with purpose. That’s why we helped launch Tech for Good - a set of principles to keep innovation ethical, human-centered and equitable.
We work with companies that share that commitment. Because the best builders create what’s better - not just what’s next.
