Canada’s innovation scene took center stage once again this October in Toronto as Elevate Festival brought together the country’s brightest minds, boldest ideas, and most ambitious ventures.
Following the event’s closure, online startup and tech news outlet The Founders Press released its “Top 40+ Hottest Companies at Elevate” list, spotlighting ventures shaping Canada’s innovation landscape.
This year, Cansulta is proud to be named #14 on the list of standout companies.
The list includes other top Canadian startups including Athena AI (founded by our own AI consultant Shao Hang He), Patty AI, QA Flow, Junior Associate, Maman Biomedical, Loop, Remote, NTangible, Equivesto and Eeva: ventures leading the way across industries. Together, with Cansulta, they paint a picture of a Canadian tech landscape that’s confident, ambitious, and ready to scale globally.
Cansulta’s journey has always been rooted in a simple idea: expert advice shouldn’t be hard to find or difficult to afford. Every award and recognition we receive is powered by the people who make this mission real: the consultants sharing their expertise, the clients trusting us with their challenges, and the partners building alongside us.
Being named one of the Top 40+ Hottest Companies at Elevate 2025 is both a celebration of that collective effort and a reminder of the work ahead. As the ecosystem grows, so does the responsibility to shape it thoughtfully.
Recognition isn’t an endpoint. For many companies on this list, it becomes a springboard: opening doors to new partnerships, deeper conversations, and bigger opportunities. For Cansulta, it’s a moment to reflect, recalibrate, and keep building.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through ecosystems that back bold ideas with real execution. This Founders Press list is proof of that, and we’re proud to be part of it.
