From barn-raising to quantum,
Waterloo is a region of inventors and business.
Waterloo is unlike anywhere else. We are a region of frontier technology in community with collaboration at its heart. This ethos can be seen in our universities (University of Waterloo, Laurier University), in our community of support (Communitech, Velocity, Accelerator Centre), and of course in our early stage capital (that’s where we come in).
Our members have invested in >150 companies.
