Built on verifiable information

Canada Startup Directory is built using publicly available and reliable sources. Important facts are linked to supporting sources so you can independently verify the information — 4,004 source links across the directory today.

No guessing.

When reliable information isn’t available, we prefer to leave a field blank rather than publish an unsupported claim.

Our data comes from:

  • Official company websites
  • Government of Canada sources
  • Research institutions
  • Funding agencies
  • Official announcements
  • Reliable industry organizations

Our Mission

Make Canada’s technology ecosystem easier to discover, understand and support.

Canadian innovation information is fragmented across hundreds of separate sites, programs and announcements. Canada has world-class founders, researchers and engineers; what it lacks is one place to see them. We bring that information together in a single searchable, source-backed platform to help support a stronger, more innovative Canada.

Data Transparency

We believe in transparency and welcome your feedback.

  • Public Sources

    Data is gathered from publicly available sources.

  • Source Links

    Important claims include links for independent verification.

  • Corrections Welcome

    Companies and users can report outdated or incorrect information.

Data Note: Information is based on publicly available internet sources and may be incomplete or change over time. See individual source links for verification. Most recent verification across the directory: Sep 17, 2026.

A directory is only as good as its corrections. If a record is outdated, incorrect or missing something important, please tell us.
