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.
