COMMUNITY
Where ambition meets belonging.
Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey — especially for immigrant founders. At Maple Bridge Ventures, we’re building more than a fund. We’re building a community powered by connection, collaboration, and shared momentum.
Founder Events
& Gatherings
Curated dinners, roundtables, and private meetups that create space for meaningful conversations and trusted relationships.

A hands-on investment readiness program designed to help immigrant-led startups refine their strategy, accelerate traction, and access capital. Delivered in collaboration with leading ecosystem partners across Canada.
Ecosystem
Partnerships
We collaborate with accelerators, innovation hubs, universities, and industry leaders across Canada to unlock funding pathways and expand opportunity for founders.

Whether you're a founder, operator, investor, mentor, or ecosystem partner, there’s a place for you here.
