FAQ
What if my solution isn't in High Tech?
We welcome applications from teams and entrepreneurs across various industries and sectors. While we have strong expertise in Social, Health & Lifesciences, Biotech, and Social Innovation, our programs are designed to support diverse business solutions across many verticals. Our Validation Program helps you test and refine your concept, and for more advanced projects, the Launch and Grow Program provides tailored support to help you scale effectively.
Are there any fees to participate in District 3 programs?
Participation in our programs is free, and we do not take equity in your venture. Our goal is to provide support and resources to help you succeed.
At what stage can I join District 3’s High Tech programs?
We encourage you to reach out as early as possible, ideally once you have achieved proof of concept, so we can assist you in establishing your business effectively. Our validation program (Link) is built with content specifically curated for high tech startups. Additionally, you can join our Launch and Grow program, which offers personalized support on a rolling basis, provided we assess that your business model is sufficiently solid.
Who can apply to District 3 High Tech, and do you accept international teams?
If you reside within the province of Quebec and are working on a business idea that has a strong focus on high tech you are eligible to apply. If you are in a team, at least one of your co-founders must be a resident of Quebec. International teams can apply only if they are planning to operate their startup out of Montreal. Our focus is on supporting Quebec based entrepreneurs who are building and operating their startups in Montreal.
