At Platform Calgary they have a front door for innovators! What does that mean? It means once you walk through those doors you're entering not only a building, but a community purpose built to support innovators. You’ll find a place and people that are there to help get you on track and figure out the next steps in your entrepreneurial journey.
The building itself has a unique and flexible design, with some ‘permanent’ touch points such as the KPMG Pitch Stage, the KPMG Ignition Center, a Partner Zone and an Investor Connection Space. All other space is open and flexible. Furniture and walls can all be moved and reconfigured as needed to support meetings, workshops, and events.
As an entrepreneur this spaces offers you not only a place to sit and work, but more importantly access to mentors, instructors, business professionals, partners, and investors. The second floor is an ecosystem of all the people, skills, and knowledge you need to innovate and grow a startup.
