Communitech helps founders start, grow and succeed*

At Communitech, we’re all about the “F” word. Founders.

We were built by tech founders who saw the need for a community of support to help ensure the future prosperity of Canada. No other innovation hub can say that, which is pretty cool.

Established in 1997, our mission has been our guide ever since. We’re here to support the founder at every stage of their journey, providing accelerated opportunities to access talent, capital and sales.

As Canada’s tech supercharger, we help founders:

- Hire and retain the smartest, brightest and most experienced people
- Access growth financing at every stage
- Sell to the biggest customers at home and around the world
- Connect the right people at the right time - peers who have been there before, coaches who can guide them through the difficult spots and partners from all over Canada

Communitech is a hybrid organization headquartered in downtown Kitchener, Ontario. In-person connection is important to us, so we get together regularly for special events, collaboration days and team socials, and we ask our team members to work onsite from our Kitchener facility for a minimum of 60 hours per month, every Tuesday being our team-wide in person collaboration day. We are a flexible, people first environment and want to allow our people to make decisions and choices about where they work to support work life balance within clear guidelines.

The program will facilitate IP support by BAIs (Business Accelerators and Incubators) to startups, help increase the IP capacity of the BAI ecosystem through IP education for BAIs and their startups, as well as enable BAIs to provide targeted support to help startups secure and maintain IP rights.

- IP strategy mentorship and coaching
- Funding the development and implementation of IP strategies

*
Technical requirements:*
- Proficiency in data manipulation language, SQL, as well as Git and Python
- Familiarity with PHP, Javascript (nice to have)

- Suggesting changes and improvements for database maintenance or protection
- Incorporating feedback and ongoing changes from our partners at Invest Ottawa and North Forge
- Regularly liaising with IT project managers and database programmers
