“As a solo founder, I reached a point where I was looking for knowledge as well as the right skillset to grow a startup into a successful business. I cannot attach any value to what I have been benefiting from the Maple program this far and the help I received to be able to take my business to the next stage.”

Isheanesu Doro, Founder at Drimkoe

“Launch really feels like a community. When I joined the Maple program, it really felt like I had some people that would care about me if anything happens. All the resources and sessions they had helped make our move much easier and took the load off our minds.”

“Launch is a fast track to Vancouver’s Tech community. You can meet founders going through the same type of challenges and having similars goals. I wouldn’t say it is impossible to build a community on your own but Launch helped us do it easily and faster, and not having to worry about it.”
Igor Debatur, Founder at UploadCare
