We’re currently supporting our first cohort of 66+ companies through our Allied Readiness Capabilities Lab as they explore dual-use defence and help build Canada’a defence ecosystem. This was a great opportunity to learn and be part of conversations around collective safety for Canadians.

☕️ There’s something slightly ambitious about voluntarily showing up to a networking event before 8 AM during Web Summit week… but somehow the room was full before the coffee even finished brewing.

This morning, FUNK. & Friends brought together founders, investors, operators, creatives, and community builders from across the ecosystem for great conversation, new connections, and a strong reminder of why in-person community matters.

A huge thank you to Doane Grant Thornton LLP for sponsoring the morning and helping bring this event to life. From supporting the space and conversations to adding some fun with giveaways, your involvement shaped the tone of the whole session.

Congrats to our AirPods giveaway winners 🎉

✨ Meet Corinna, Marketing Coordinator at Alacrity.

“I like being close to the process, whether that’s hearing about a milestone as they happen or working with a founder to shape how they show up. It’s a more human side of business that you don’t always get to see.”

Hear more about her role and experience on our LinkedIn page.
