GAIN Launch Event

A big thank you to our member and good friend Hammad Siddiqui from the Canada Startup Association for inviting us to the launch of the Global Angel Investors Network (GAIN) in Mississauga.

GAIN is Canada’s premier national angel investment platform, purpose-built to connect exceptional Canadian founders with a curated network of global investors. Operating with a global mandate, GAIN provides disciplined access to early-stage Canadian innovation through a nationally sourced deal pipeline, structured investor engagement, and meaningful cross-border market connectivity.

What truly sets GAIN apart is its focus on quality, governance, and long-term impact. The platform is designed for investors who value strong fundamentals and for founders who are prepared to meet global standards of execution, scale, and ambition. With a strong commitment to inclusive investing, GAIN also supports underrepresented and first-time founders—while maintaining a selective, thesis-driven investment approach.

Through trusted international partnerships and access to global ecosystems, GAIN is positioning Canadian startups for global relevance while offering investors a refined gateway into one of the world’s most stable and high-potential innovation markets.

It was also great to see Yasir Naqvi, Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary for International Trade, come out to support this important milestone. Wishing the entire GAIN team continued success as they strengthen Canada’s innovation and investment landscape.
