Commit, in partnership with AWS Canada, is pleased to announce the inaugural cohort of their Visionary Velocity Startup Accelerator. This program aims to help Canada-based startups reach Product-Market Fit (PMF) through a focused 3-month initiative.

The Visionary Velocity Startup Accelerator offers a strong support system for Canadian startups. This initiative, created by Commit and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Canada, provides startups the tools and knowledge to improve their products, plan their technical development, and find essential funding.

Commit is a prominent Canadian tech ecosystem player dedicated to empowering startups and fostering innovation. As a company, Commit focuses on providing essential resources, mentorship, and strategic guidance to help early-stage companies navigate the complexities of building a sustainable business. With a track record of supporting entrepreneurs through various its initiatives and programs, Commit has established itself as a vital ally in the startup journey.

The program has the potential to significantly transform the Canadian startup landscape by providing essential resources and support, fostering a new wave of innovation and economic growth from Commit and AWS Canada. This initiative could pave the way for more successful startups from Canada, ultimately benefiting the local economy and creating a global impact. The Visionary Velocity Startup Accelerator is poised to drive change by promoting smarter development strategies and empowering entrepreneurs to reach their full potential through quicker development and funding for startups ready to seize the opportunity.

The 3-month program targets startups that have raised over $500,000 in the last six months, have existing customers (or on a mission to gain new ones) and spend at least $2,000 a month on AWS services. Selected startups that meet these criteria will benefit from exclusive workshops, strategic guidance, and introductions to venture capitalists.

*The Visionary Velocity Startup Accelerator is more than just a program,” said Max Nirenberg, Chief Revenue Officer Managing Director for North America. “It’s a launchpad for startups aiming to make an impact in their fields. By partnering with AWS, we provide access to resources that can greatly enhance a startup’s growth.”**

Participants will participate in a two-hour Product Development Workshop, working with industry experts to improve their products. They’ll also receive two one-hour sessions of specialized technical support to address specific needs, such as architectural reviews or AI assessments. Additionally, startups can access discounted consulting rates and free FinOps support to help manage AWS costs.

AWS will offer a Masterclass on Raising Capital, helping startups learn how to navigate their next funding round. The program will also connect startups with potential investors, allowing them to present their ideas directly to venture capital firms. Startups can also strengthen their technical plans by taking advantage of technical whiteboarding sessions with AWS Solution Architects.

In the fast-paced world of startups, competition is fierce, and standing out can feel like an uphill battle. That’s where innovative programs like the Visionary Velocity Startup Accelerator come into play. They’re not just beneficial—they’re essential for startups looking to thrive.

These accelerators equip entrepreneurs with practical tools to tackle immediate challenges head-on, offering guidance and resources that can make all the difference in those crucial early stages. But it doesn’t stop there; they also lay the groundwork for long-term success. By fostering a strong foundation, startups can navigate the turbulent waters of growth with confidence, setting themselves up for a bright and promising future.
