Since 2017: Bringing People Together, Better
At StartWell, we believe that when teams come together in the right environment, great things happen. Our mission is simple: to make hosting meetings and corporate events in Toronto effortless, inspiring, and impactful.
The best of Coworking, applied to corporate gatherings every day.
We began in 2017 as a coworking community enabling early stage ventures to find paths to scale - but over time, clients needs evolved - and so did we.
Its easy to decorate an office and fill it with ergonomic furniture, but enabling team culture that celebrates collaboration is tough in an office....
...So our evolution involved creating a place for corporate teams to come together and be themselves here at StartWell.
Every year we welcome tens of thousands of people from all types of companies who gather here to present information, learn from one another and create solutions together whilst having fun.
Our 3 large suites are designed to make it easy to deliver content on stage, and fun to participate as an audience.
We make it dead simple to come together and be in the moment - our team handles audio-visuals and we even have baristas at our complimentary front desk espresso bar to keep your team caffeinated and hydrated whilst here on campus.
