THE WHO, WHAT
& WHY IT MATTERS
We bring together a network of seasoned builders, operators, and investors dedicated to supporting Canadian entrepreneurs. With panels, breakout sessions, and fireside chats, attendees tackle their most pressing challenges and opportunities. The result - Fellows walk away with actionable advice for scaling and achieving global success.
WHAT FELLOWS ALUMNI ARE SAYING
48Hrs provides a high-value, protected space for founders to connect away from the world's distractions. It allows attendees to dive deep into discussions and forge genuine relationships with those at the forefront of innovation.
48Hrs was an incredible experience. We were grateful to be part of it - the calibre of the speakers, investors, mentors, and other Fellows was top-notch. We walked away with lifelong friendships and a list of action items!
The most underrated quality of a successful startup founder is being determined and never losing sight of your ‘why.’ 48Hrs reminds founders of this, bringing together people committed to helping them make that impact.
Being part of C100's Fellowship means you’re never alone on your entrepreneurial journey. It’s an essential program for any founder looking to scale globally and make a significant impact.
We have all the ingredients to establish Canada as a tech powerhouse where we punch above our weight globally. C100 can help connect the Canadian tech ecosystem and be an indispensable resource to founders and tech leaders.
The fellowship and friendship among Canadian founders were invaluable. It sparks courage to take the calculated risks for survival today so our companies can thrive tomorrow.
Our goals for 48Hrs were to expand our network, take operating learnings back to the team, and draw inspiration to take bigger swings. 48Hrs helped us accomplish all three. The panel discussions led to several 'aha moments'.
