What it means to be a Member
Join an organization focused on supporting innovation in Canada through enabling Canadian Accelerators and Incubators to become their best. We help our members to access national and international networks and perspectives, connect with their peers and learn from each other, and leverage our network effect and collective voice to generate greater impact and better serve our communities.

Community Platform
Our monthly thought leadership events for all General Members helps us stay connected and up-to-date on ecosystem learnings. It also serves as an opportunity for General Members to discuss shared challenges and solutions. CAIN also has a Slack community for General Members to connect and share information regarding updates around events, programs, teams, and policy.

Accessible & Inclusive
By offering our general membership freely to all who meet criteria, we enable inclusivity and avoid barriers in Accelerators and Incubators joining the network and including their perspective and voice. It is a priority for us to understand all perspectives, not just those who can afford to contribute in a paid capacity. We ask for active and honest participation in return.

Contribute Your Voice
Participate in shaping the future of innovation in Canada through CAIN initiatives. Share your truth and help inform CAIN’s reporting, management, initiatives, and policy & advocacy efforts. Learn from CAIN reports how you compare to your peers nationally on various topics and what you can take away and apply. The more we all know, the more we can consciously navigate together.

Access Opportunities
Tap into the relationships, resources, and opportunities available through your peers and CAIN’s initiatives. CAIN builds relationships directly with government and ecosystem partners, such as corporations, investors, and media, to develop solutions to solve General Member pain points and advocates for CAIN objectives.
