Canada’s startup ecosystem is built on grit, creativity, and an unwavering belief that better is possible. Every day, founders across this country take risks, solve real problems, and create the companies that will define tomorrow. Yet too often, their stories go untold.
The StartupGrowth Awards exist to change that. Presented by Canada Startup Association in collaboration with Canadian SME, these awards shine a Canadian spotlight on the founders who are pushing boundaries, building with purpose, and proving that resilience is Canada’s greatest startup resource.
Being recognized at the StartupGrowth Awards means joining a community of Canada’s most driven innovators. It means your story will be amplified across the country.
If you are a Canadian founder, or know one, who has demonstrated innovation, resilience, or meaningful impact in the past year, this is your moment. We welcome nominations from all sectors, all provinces, and all stages of growth. You don’t need to be the biggest. You need to be building something that matters.
