Early-stage tech founders in Saskatchewan often need more than just capital to get moving—they need guidance, community, and real-world feedback to turn an idea into a viable startup. The Co.Labs — Co.Learn program is built around that need, offering aspiring and early-stage technology entrepreneurs a structured way to build skills, validate ideas, and plug into the province’s growing startup ecosystem. Delivered by Co.Labs with support from the Government of Saskatchewan, the program focuses on helping founders understand what it really takes to build and scale a tech company.
Co.Learn is especially valuable for startups still shaping their product or business model. Participants work alongside other founders at similar stages, gaining access to peer learning, founder meet-ups, mentorship, and one-on-one support from experienced Saskatchewan tech leaders. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, accountability, and practical insight, helping founders strengthen their pitch, refine their market approach, and prepare for more intensive acceleration opportunities. For some participants, this pathway can lead toward Co.Labs’ more advanced programming, where select startups can compete for non-repayable funding of up to $20,000 while accelerating toward market traction.
Designed for technology startups based in Saskatchewan and meeting certain requirements, Co.Labs — Co.Learn offers a supportive on-ramp into the startup world without giving up equity or paying fees. Exploring the full program details can help founders decide if this is the right next step for their startup journey.
