Growth Partnership · Tech Startup
Product-market fit is earned. Go-to-market is engineered.
For BC tech founders past ideation who need a full GTM team without the burn of full-time hires.
A fractional growth team for tech startups in BC — from first revenue to fundable traction.
We embed our team in your Coquitlam tech startup business and execute — performance-aligned.
Coquitlam's tech ecosystem is maturing. Founders who built in the 2020–2022 era on VC enthusiasm are navigating a harder capital environment, and founders starting now are building more carefully. The challenge at every stage is the same: building a great product is the entry fee, but building a scalable go-to-market engine is what determines whether the company reaches $1M ARR, $5M, or exits successfully. We partner with Coquitlam tech founders to be the GTM team they can't yet afford to hire full-time — embedded, performance-aligned, and built around your specific market.

We partner selectively with businesses that have genuine growth potential. Here are the signals we look for:

The Coquitlam tech startup market right now
Coquitlam's tech ecosystem has the talent, the market access, and the capital relationships — but most early-stage companies lack GTM execution. The founders who build systematic growth infrastructure in 2025–2026 will enter fundraising conversations with leverage; those who delay will find themselves in a market where "we're growing organically" is no longer sufficient for investor confidence.
Coquitlam's rapid residential growth has created an opportunity-rich market for local services targeting young families and the growing Tri-Cities professional class.
B2B or B2C tech startup at pre-revenue to $3M ARR, based in BC or serving the Canadian/North American market, with a product that has demonstrated real demand and a founder ready for structured GTM execution.

A Coquitlam tech startup business, 12–18 months into a growth partnership
A Coquitlam SaaS founder had a construction project management tool with 30 paying customers and $18K MRR — all from personal outreach. The product solved a real problem. The messaging was technical. The website converted nobody. Twelve months after embedding our team: positioning shifted from features to outcomes, the website conversion rate went from 0.8% to 4.2%, an outbound sequence added 8–12 demos per week, content and SEO generated 40% of inbound demos organically, and MRR reached $110K. A $1.5M seed round closed.
Coquitlam areas and communities we serve
We partner with tech founders across all of Coquitlam — from City Centre, Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau to Maillardville.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with pre-revenue startups?
Yes, selectively. For Coquitlam pre-revenue startups, the equity model works best — we take a small stake in exchange for embedded GTM work. We're selective because pre-revenue is highest risk, and we only take it when we have genuine conviction in the product and founder. If you have a strong thesis and early validation signals, apply and let's have the conversation.
Can you help with fundraising?
We're not a fundraising broker, but we do help Coquitlam founders build the metrics and narrative that make fundraising conversations more productive. We've helped companies go from "interesting concept" to "here's our 6-month growth trajectory, ARR growth rate, and pipeline" — which is what closes rounds.
What's the minimum engagement length?
We don't do one-month projects. The minimum meaningful engagement is 6 months — and most Coquitlam tech partnerships run 12–24 months. GTM isn't a campaign, it's infrastructure. Building a repeatable demand generation engine requires time to test, learn, and compound.
