Last October 16, Fredericton hosted a remarkable event that brought together the city's budding entrepreneurs, seasoned founders, and venture capitalists to celebrate innovation, networking, and social impact. Organized by Profitual, the "Startup Ecosystem Social" was a night to remember, offering attendees an opportunity to connect, gain fresh insights, and make a positive impact by supporting women in the startup world.

All proceeds from the event were generously donated to the Women's Equity Lab, further strengthening the local startup ecosystem's commitment to diversity and inclusivity.


A Night of Socializing, Connection, and Growth:

The Startup Ecosystem Social was more than just your average networking event; it was a platform for like-minded individuals to come together and share their passion for entrepreneurship, innovation, and community-building. The event was made possible through collaboration with various key players in the region, including the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF). Companies such as Propel, VENN were also present. It provided an informal yet professional atmosphere that encouraged attendees to connect and form lasting relationships.



Whether you were a seasoned entrepreneur, a first-time founder, or a venture capitalist looking to invest in the next big thing, the event had something to offer. The opportunity to mingle and exchange ideas with industry leaders and fellow startups provided a unique environment for learning and growth.


Fresh Insights and Knowledge Sharing:

One of the standout features of the event was the valuable insights and knowledge sharing that took place. Several industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs covered a wide range of topics, from raising capital and building a successful team to overcoming challenges and navigating the ever-changing landscape of the startup world. These experts' collective wisdom was inspiring and offered practical advice for those looking to make their mark in the startup ecosystem.


A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:

One of the most commendable aspects of the Startup Ecosystem Social was its dedication to supporting female founders. All proceeds from the event were donated to the Women's Equity Lab, an organization that champions female entrepreneurs and works to eliminate the gender gap in the startup world. This event was also supported by EIGEN, another organization committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in the tech and startup space.



By contributing to such a noble cause, the event highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusivity within the startup ecosystem. It served as a reminder that successful innovation and entrepreneurship can only thrive when all voices are heard and all opportunities are accessible.


As the startup ecosystem in New Brusnwick continues to grow, events like these serve as a testament to the vibrant and supportive community that is taking shape in the province. With every connection made, idea shared, and dollar donated, the future of startups in New Brunswick looks brighter and more inclusive than ever.
