NEXT 36

NEXT 36 is a Toronto-based accelerator for Canadian students and recent graduates building pre-seed and early-stage ventures. The 8-month, no-equity and no-program-fee program provides mentorship, curriculum, free office space, investor access and funding. It supports founders across broad sectors including AI, SaaS, fintech, healthtech, climate, consumer, industrial and marketplace businesses, making it most relevant for Canadian founders seeking accelerator backing and investor-network access rather than a traditional VC fund.
