Startup Montréal
Support company
Startup Montréal is a non-profit organization created through the merger of Bonjour Startup Montréal with Montréal inc. whose mission is to increase the potential already offered by Montréal’s startup ecosystem, in two ways: by extending its outreach and by multiplying its positive impact.
Notman House boasts a vibrant community of startups/VCs/advisors, and offered us invaluable access to their network/resources/events desperately needed in the early days of Mixonset. It is conveniently located in the center of Montréal, very affordably priced for the great value, therefore the ideal place for early stage founders. Cannot recommend it enough!

If we need to approach VCs, FonderFuel or Techstars, Notman is like that person who shows you around and opens the doors for you to meet them.
Vincent Haeger
Notman House is truly the heart of the Montréal tech entrepreneurial scene. It’s where I met my co-founder, where we finalized our first round of funding, where we got our first office space, where we recruited our first team member, and where we experienced the ups and downs of the early days. Even today, many years after our debut, Notman House remains our second home. Where it all began!
Therence Bois
Each year, Techstars Montréal brings startups from here and around the world together for its accelerator program. We strive to expose these founders to as many opportunities as possible and allow them to immerse themselves in the Montréal ecosystem. Notman House is the best place in town to make that happen.

My career would not be what it is today without all the meetings and countless connections I’ve made at Notman. Working on an accelerator program is an incredible challenge, and I don’t know what I would have done without all the people who are deeply involved in the startup ecosystem with whom I’ve been able to interact and collaborate over the past few years. Our community is tightly woven, and Notman House is where it comes together.

My journey with Notman started in 2018. And i’ve been back here every year since then. This is where I come back to rejuvenate my energies and feel inspired again. The people who work here play a huge role in that. I’m drawn to the community here.
