For Startups

The Alliance rolls up its sleeves for startups.

From first traction to your next raise, we work alongside Island founders building scalable, export-focused ventures.

What we do for you

We don't just point you at resources — we get hands-on. Whether you're validating an idea or scaling a team, the Alliance connects you to the people, space, and support that move a startup forward on PEI.

  • Apply to The Foundry Residency — 90-day cycles with coaching, mentorship, and the workspace to do the work.
  • Get matched with founders and operators who've scaled ventures from the Island — real intros, not a directory.
  • Sit down with mentors, partners, and investors who can move your business forward.
  • Pressure-test your pitch, hiring plan, and go-to-market with people who have done it before.
  • Tap warm introductions to customers and partners across Canada and beyond.
  • Find your first — or next — hires from the Island's developer community.
