Each year, C100 welcomes the founders of 20 of the most promising early-stage Canadian-led startups to its flagship mentorship program, C100 Fellows.
2022 was a record year for the Fellows program with over 450 applications from Canadian founders based all around the globe, according to the association.
The resulting cohort is a talented, visionary, and diverse group of Canadian founders. Represented across 9 cities, 60% of the cohort have one or more founders who identify as a visible minority, and 35% with at least 1 female founder, 5 of whom are CEO or President.
C100 has announced its 2022 Fellows and two startups with Vancouver connections made the cut this year.
RockMass, Vancouver – Shelby Yee and Matthew Gubasta
RockMass is an infrastructure and mining technology startup that enables engineers and geologists to improve the safety and efficiency of major projects through improved access to geological data. In December 2020, RockMass announced it raised $2.5 million in seed funding.
Spare, Vancouver – Josh Andrews, Alexey Indeev and Vik Hansen
Spare is an enterprise SaaS platform and a mobility operating system, and we are on a mission to empower everyone to unlock the potential of transportation. This past November, Spare announced that it raised a $18 million Series A round led by Inovia Capital.
This 8-month long program is dedicated to supporting these founders via curated mentorship, and peer-to-peer support. Fellows also receive a complimentary C100 Membership throughout the course of their program.
C100 is a privately-funded, not-for-profit member association for its members across Canada, the United States, and beyond. They work to galvanize the global Canadian tech diaspora to support, inspire, and advance Canadian entrepreneurship.
