Building A Company Is Hard. Doing It Alone Is Harder
Why Acetech
Acetech is a founder-first, member-led leadership community for tech CEOs scaling across BC. We’re here to support you, not just your business through the toughest, fastest-moving stages of growth.
Running a tech company means making high-stakes decisions with limited time, limited data, and even fewer people who truly understand the pressure. Who do you hire next? What if you get it wrong? What’s the right move—right now? That’s where Acetech comes in.
We connect you with other growth-stage founders who’ve been there. Through curated peer groups, tactical workshops, and real conversations, you get clarity on what matters, support when it counts, and space to think bigger.
We started over 33 years ago with a handful of tech CEOs around a dinner table, swapping hard-earned lessons and helping each other sleep better at night. Today, we’re still doing that, but at scale.
At Acetech, value goes both ways. You share what you’ve learned. You get what you need. You grow, together. If you're a BC-based tech CEO ready to scale, seeking a high-trust community built for action, you’re in the right room.
Curated Peer Groups
You don’t have time for surface-level support.
Join a trusted circle of fellow tech CEOs who meet monthly to pressure-test ideas, solve problems and scaling challenges, and hold each other accountable.
Members-First Events
Every session is built for your reality.
Whether it’s a hands-on workshop, private dinner, or candid roundtable, every event is designed by and for tech founders real conversations, real takeaways, and no wasted time.
Thought-Leadership Access
Mistakes are expensive. Time is limited.
Get fast, relevant feedback and warm intros from operators and mentors who’ve actually scaled, exited, and hired at pace. No gatekeeping, no theory, just practical guidance when you need it.
