Sure, in terms of groups. Have you ever looked at
https://www.meetup.com/topics/calgary/ You can go and find a lot of groups in there that might match what you're looking for. I also coordinate with a lot of the start up groups. StartupCalgary, Platform, Innovates.
In terms of the types of Startups that we work with. We are key focused on technical/digital startups. We work with them in term of their product development or secondary application/portal development.
We focus in three key areas. Research (we help them with their market research. We also help them research the technologies that they should be using). Planning (project planning, project management. We help them get from drawing board to MVP). Development (We have a roster of experts from development, design, copywriting etc. The goal is to help a startup in filling the expertise requirements that they don't have and can't afford to hire).
At times we wander out of the Startup space, we are working with a third party that is working with a provincial government on their economic strategy in terms of a dramatic reshift. We are providing the technical expertise on the application side.
