Empowering Fellows to create globally impactful companies in Canada


48Hrs is C100’s highly curated launch experience for its Fellows cohort. We take our Fellows, the most daring founders building category-defining companies in Canada, to Silicon Valley for two days of intensive networking and mentorship. Over the past fourteen years, the event has been a signature program in the Canadian tech ecosystem and has graduated the most distinguished Canadian startups including Ada, Applyboard, Frank & Oak, Mejuri, Wealthsimple and more.

Meet the 2023 Fellows

What can Fellows expect at 48Hrs:

  • Meet your 2023 Fellows cohort - exceptional founders behind some of the most promising early-stage tech startups built in Canada
  • Learn from leading founders, operators and investors on a range of topics, from leadership to scaling a successful global business
  • Meet the people who will help you scale your business in an intimate, off-the-record environment alongside Canadians who are building great tech companies across the global ecosystem
