A first customer and strategic investor have already validated dozens of market problems and are excited to partner with great founders. This is a chance to take the reins of a venture with strong initial momentum.

Each of our dozens of open Opportunity Cards represents a rigorously vetted startup concept. We spend months working alongside leading Canadian companies, customers, and partners to uncover and validate critical, real-world problems. For each opportunity, we’ve confirmed that solving a single, well-defined problem unlocks a $1B+ market. Our Labs team has already validated that a defensible AI solution can be built in weeks, not years. We’re now looking for an experienced startup founder to co-lead the venture—no prior AI expertise required.
