Our programs
Garage&co supports hardtech companies from prototype to production. Our team and our network of experts work with founders on the product, the financing and the growth strategy. We adjust how intensely we work with a company to the stage it has reached. Our three programs cover the whole path, from the day a founder joins the community to industrialization.
Connect. Develop. Deploy

How we work
We build our support around a dedicated team and a network of experts who step in according to what entrepreneurs need.
What separates the three programs is how intensely we work with a company: lightly in Connect, steadily in Incubation, at speed in Croissance. The entry point is the same in all three cases: a conversation and a review of the project.

What the three have in common
Our community
In all three programs, the founders we accompany take part in the peer-to-peer sessions, the meetups, the workshops and the events.
1,400 participants to dateOur manufacturing network
The companies we support reach more than 60 manufacturers across Quebec and Canada, on terms we have negotiated for prototyping and small production runs.
60+ manufacturersOur expertise
Our network of experts is the same in all three programs: prototyping, financing, intellectual property, industrial design and regulatory work.
Network of expertsSupporting the programs
Garage&co is a non-profit organization. We run the three programs with the support of organizations that sponsor our activities, that offer their services to the founders we accompany, or that start pilot projects with the companies we support.
Partners support the programs in several ways: supplying our workshop, opening their own plant for a small production run, or hosting a founder for a plant visit.
