A free, current directory of the people and startups building tech in Kitchener-Waterloo. Made by someone who lives and works in the region.
Hi, I'm Torrin Leonard, a full-stack software engineer based in Waterloo, Ontario.
KWBuilds is a side project, not a company pitch. I'm building it in the open because I want the KW tech community to have a resource it actually owns. Want to know more about me? Have a look around.
The scene is hard to see
Kitchener-Waterloo has one of the densest tech ecosystems in Canada, but there's no single, current place to see who's actually building here. Lists go stale, and a lot of good work stays invisible.
So I built a living directory
KWBuilds keeps an up to date, public view of KW tech startups and local tech news. It is free to browse and needs no signup, just a current snapshot of who is building here.
For the people building here
Founders, job seekers, investors, and the merely curious should be able to find the KW ecosystem in one place. If you run a startup here, you will be able to claim and edit your listing.
Have a startup, a correction, or want to help?
The directory is always being refined. Reach out through my site or LinkedIn, or just start browsing.
