Co.Labs — Co.Launch

Early-stage tech founders in Saskatchewan who are trying to move from idea to a real, market-ready startup often struggle with more than just funding. They need structure, accountability, and guidance from people who have already built companies. Co.Labs — Co.Launch is designed for exactly that stage, helping information technology startups turn validated ideas or early MVPs into scalable businesses through hands-on support. Delivered by Co.Labs with backing from the Government of Saskatchewan, the program brings founders together in a collaborative, community-driven environment focused on execution and traction.

Rather than acting like a traditional grant, Co.Launch combines intensive in-person programming with personalized coaching from experienced founders and operators. Over a short, fast-paced cohort, participants receive weekly guidance, milestone-based accountability, and access to mentors who understand the realities of building a tech startup from the ground up. The program culminates in a live showcase where selected startups pitch their progress and compete for a non-repayable cash prize of up to $20,000, giving founders both visibility and capital to push their ventures forward.

Co.Labs — Co.Launch is particularly well suited for Saskatchewan-based tech startups that are ready to commit time and energy to accelerated growth, while plugging into the province’s broader tech ecosystem. With no fees or equity taken, the value lies in the support, connections, and momentum founders gain along the way. For entrepreneurs considering their next step, learning more about how this program works can help determine if it’s the right launchpad for their startup journey.
