No fixed timelines. No rigid templates. Just a high-trust, high-momentum community built around people who ship. The next generation of founder support doesn't look like a program. It looks like a platform for long-term relationships, built for people who build differently.

🎙 Tank Talks: Weekly unfiltered convos with founders, investors, and operators hosted by Matt Cohen.
🤝 Corporate Partnerships: Matching problem-obsessed founders with real-world needs and early design partners.

[RippleX @joinripplex]

We have reimagined RippleX after 5+ years of building this platform and community. What started in 2019 as a virtual program for students without access to startup ecosystems has evolved into something much bigger—and more aligned with how real companies get built today.

[RippleX @joinripplex]

So we've rebuilt RippleX around those insights:
🛠 Dwell and Swell: IRL founder coworking in Toronto, Vancouver, and soon Waterloo, Montreal, Calgary.
🚀 RippleX Studio: We incubate ideas in legacy and frontier markets—with capital, customers, and co-conspirators from day zero.

[RippleX @joinripplex]

After 5 years, here's what we've learned: - The best founders don't need structure—they need community. - Standard deals don't fit non-standard companies. - The most important asset isn't programming—it's people who show up for each other.

We are excited to announce our RippleX Fellowship University Roadshow! We are hitting up The University of British Columbia University of Waterloo Western University Queen's University and the University of Toronto to share our newest Founder Fellowship batch starting in 2025

As we reflect on the day, we are more inspired than ever by the potential of our community. This summit was not just a celebration of innovation but a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when the startup ecosystem comes together 🌱. We can't wait to see the remarkable journeys and groundbreaking successes that lie ahead for these startups.

If you’re a founder building within B2B SaaS + want to chat / get involved at our future events, please message Katie or Naz on our team.
