About

Built for Brant.

Startup Brant exists because there's no shortage of smart, ambitious people in Brant County — they just haven't had a place to find each other. Until now.

The Story

Startup Brant started with a simple idea: what if the founders, builders, and people interested in technology and startups in Brant County could actually meet each other?

Not at a formal conference. Not on a Zoom. At a pub, over a drink, with no agenda.

That's what this is. A community first, a platform second. We're not an accelerator. We're not a coworking space. We're the people who show up.
