You don’t have to build alone.
LOI is more than a cohort. It’s Canada’s largest national community of young founders: 2,088 strong. One membership, two pathways: visibility and access on one side, wellbeing and resilience on the other.
Pathway 01 · Visibility & access
Founder Amplify
The part of LOI that puts founders on stage, on a list, in front of an investor, or in a room they couldn’t have walked into alone.
YEY Awards
LOI’s national Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. The biggest stage for young Canadian founders.
Demo Days
End-of-cohort showcases for Labs and Boost founders, in front of investors and partners.
$100K+ in partner perks: AWS, Google Cloud, HubSpot, Notion, Hootsuite, Osler legal office hours.
Conference access
Panels at Web Summit, discounted Toronto Tech Week tickets, curated ecosystem entries.
Founder spotlights
Editorial coverage across LOI’s newsletter, social, and partner channels.
Ecosystem introductions
Investor exposure, accelerator referrals, partner intros. Warm and curated, not blasted.
The Venture Package
Every founder in the LOI community gets access to our Venture Package: exclusive perks, discounts, and resources from partners like AWS, Google, Hootsuite, and more. It’s everything you need to save money, scale faster, and focus on what matters most: building your venture.
Currently, the venture package is valued at over $100,000!
Pathway 02 · Wellbeing & resilience
Founder Thrive
The founder, not just the company. Mental health, peer support, and long-term resilience are part of the curriculum.
Edge is our wellness and high-performance program for founders.
Practical training, coaching and funded therapy access, shaped by what founders told us about burnout and wellbeing.
National Slack
Young Canadian founders from every province, with channels by stage, sector, geography, and topic.
Peer groups & masterminds
Small accountability circles outside any cohort, curated by stage and goal.
Wellness programming
Mental health resources and workshops with CMHA and Mindframe Connect.
In-person meetups
Regional gatherings and founder run clubs across Canada.
Alumni groups
The community doesn’t expire when the program does.
Building in person
North House: Vancouver’s home for early-stage founders.
LOI’s first physical space: 10,000 square feet in Mount Pleasant, built for young startups, where connections made over Zoom turn into co-founders, clients, and investments made in person.
