Edge

Edge is Canada’s first accelerator-model program designed around founder mental health and sustained high performance.

Built with practitioners from sport, health, the arts and entrepreneurship, it pairs a structured curriculum with funded therapy access through GreenShield, giving young Canadian founders a level of performance support that has not previously existed outside professional sport.

Edge is LOI’s health and high-performance program, built for founders who want to keep building for years and not months. Delivered in partnership with GreenShield, the program treats you like an athlete, focusing on refining three phases of performance: acceleration, maintenance and recovery.

Over two weeks, you’ll work through a curriculum crafted by leaders in Canadian health, sports and entrepreneurship, and gain access to additional wellness and high-performance supports, including free therapy and exclusive group coaching. All free. All new.

Who’s it for?

This new program is exclusively offered to existing LOI community members and select program partners. Edge provides support at every stage of entrepreneurial development. Join the community to find your Edge.

02

You’re running hot

You’re moving fast and starting to feel the cost of it. 85% of founders we surveyed reported burnout. You’re not alone in wanting to operate at your best.

03

You want performance, not a pep talk

Sleep, recovery, communication, focus. The same things pro athletes train, applied to running a company.

04

Wellness-focused founders aged 15–30

Once you’re part of the LOI community, you can participate from anywhere in Canada. Therapy access is covered, so cost isn’t what decides whether you get support.

High performance learning

Multiple live sessions over two weeks, built on a simple arc: accelerate, maintain, then rest and recover. You’ll cover sleep, focus, communication, stress management and mental performance with world-class operators, researchers and performers who study this for a living, including professional athletes, published researchers, mental health advocates and industry-defining founders.

Daily practice

Edge asks for something from you every day, not just when the Zoom is on. Cohort-wide goals surrounding daily movement, communication with other founders and meaningful check-ins with both your peers and your local communities. The group is small enough that nobody quietly disappears, which is the point. Accountability, authenticity, hard work and real results.

Nation-leading wellness infrastructure

Free counselling through GreenShield doesn’t stop when the program does. Neither does the rest of it: six weeks of group coaching, the alumni community, and a three-month check-in to see what worked and where you could use additional support.
