We believe a company grows faster when its founder decides the year before it starts.

For many companies, that decision happens now, while 2027 budgets are set.

Happy Thanksgiving from Global Startups. Canadians celebrate today, the second Monday of October, with family, friends and a meal that goes back to the harvest.

Since 2016 we have worked with more than 340 startups, and we are thankful for every founder, partner, coach and investor who made that possible. To everyone following from outside Canada, thank you for being part of this community. Wishing you a good day.

Two real signals this fall that Asia-Pacific is moving faster than most Canadian companies are tracking:

Canada sent its highest-level political representation to an APEC energy meeting in over 10 years this September. And Air Canada just announced the most extensive intercontinental expansion in its history, including a new year-round route connecting Vancouver directly to Guangzhou, one of China's major manufacturing and tech hubs.

Policy and infrastructure are both pointing the same direction. The question is whether your business has the relationships to act on it.

Join us for Asia-Pacific in the Spotlight, October 29 at our office, 325 Front St W, Suite 300, Toronto, 5:30 PM. We've confirmed two speakers: Brian Bui, who has spent over 20 years working between Canada and Vietnam, and David Comtois, Founder of JDL Immigration, who spent years advising clients across Asia from Hong Kong before returning to Canada.

We wrapped our 10th Anniversary Masterclass Series with over 400 registrations across 15 sessions.

The topics that brought the most founders to the room: funding, marketing, branding, and IP. Others were built for specific verticals, and the founders who found those sessions said exactly that, it was made for them.

Watching founders connect with each other and walk away with real information was the part that made this week meaningful.

Thank you to every speaker, partner, and attendee who was part of it.

We are not done. Additional sessions are coming in November, both online and in person. Subscribe to our Luma calendar to stay updated:
