Canada Startup Association Partners with Startup Science
AGAZ Summit to Launch New Phase of Inclusive Innovation Infrastructure
Canada Startup Association, a non-profit organization committed to supporting entrepreneurs from underserved and historically excluded communities, is proud to announce a new partnership with Startup Science, a founder education platform that helps early-stage entrepreneurs go from idea to traction through structured, expert-backed learning.
This partnership launches at the upcoming AGAZ Summit, a flagship event powered by the Canada Startup Association. AGAZ brings together founders, creatives, and ecosystem leaders from across Canada for a day-long experience designed to inspire, connect, and equip the next generation of innovators.
Through the partnership, Startup Science will power the AGAZ Summit’s startup education track, delivering guided learning paths and investor-readiness tools to help founders build real momentum from day one.
“Canada Startup Association exists to build systems not just stages, for equity deserving and underserved founders,” said [Tehmina, President, Canada Startup Association]. “This partnership with Startup Science helps us scale that vision and ensure the support continues reaching equity deserving startup communities beyond the event.”
Both organizations share a belief that entrepreneurship should be accessible to all and that building truly inclusive ecosystems requires more than inspiration; it requires infrastructure. The AGAZ Summit is the first in a series of activations focused on delivering that infrastructure through education, resources, and community.
“Startup ecosystems have long favored the well-connected and well-resourced,” said Greg Shepard, Co-Founder of Startup Science. “This partnership with AGAZ is about changing that. We’re not here to fix founders, we’re here to fix the system. Together, we’re building infrastructure that gives every entrepreneur a real shot.”
