Startup Edmonton & Incite

Edmonton was founded with firm entrepreneurial roots; once a distant outpost for the Hudson's Bay Company, courageous dreamers found their place in the rustic wilds of Alberta. The entrepreneurial spirit of Edmonton's forefathers still rings true in Alberta's capital region. At Incite, our Core Purpose is to help leaders thrive, and among those leaders are the entrepreneurs that Startup Edmonton hopes to fund and help succeed.

Incite is proud to be a Founding Partner of Startup Edmonton, whose vision is to mold Edmonton into a hotbed of entrepreneurship through amplifying creative innovation and activating startups with a goal of being viable commercial enterprises within 6-12 months. Through thought leadership, mentoring, and actively promoting and fostering the creative industry in Edmonton, Startup Edmonton seeks to develop the talent inherent in the Edmonton community, as well as displaying the city as a global player for creative entrepreneurs and community innovators.

Their core pillars are to:

• Inspire: Startup Edmonton hosts a number of events, including the TEDxEdmonton series, DemoCamp, and Hackdays, with the goal of inspiring entrepreneurs and Edmontonians to turn their dreams into reality.
• Create: By providing the events, mentors, workspace and resources, Startup Edmonton is helping entrepreneurs to develop their products and the tools they need to successfully launch them to the global market.
• Accelerate: Startup Edmonton provides an incubator space and seed funding for entrepreneurs to help them take their dream from an idea to a market validated product offering.

Startup Edmonton embodies the values that Incite was founded on: community, relationships, passion, creativity, and rigour.

Mentoring entrepreneurs through Startup Edmonton helps Incite to continue our goal of helping leaders thrive and our community flourish.
