About us
ECC is re-launching in 2025 with a focus on connecting Atlantic Canadians from all corners of the world who want to build great companies. More to come... ________________________________ What is East Coast Connected (ECC)? Major economic centres like Toronto and Ottawa are home to thousands of “ex-pat” Atlantic Canadians. These people have left the East Coast to advance their careers, to pursue secondary education opportunities, to honour family commitments, or to encounter different cultural experiences than they can find in their home provinces. They never lose their love for the Atlantic region. East Coast Connected believes that Atlantic Canadians who have moved away are still, at heart, Atlantic Canadians. More than that, we believe that they are still a valuable resource for their home provinces – whether you’re talking about investment opportunities or fundraising for your former local charity, this diverse group of people is full of passion and goodwill. Since 2007, East Coast Connected has been a forum for discussion, dialogue, networking, and informal mentoring. We aim to take advantage of the momentum generated since our inception. How? By channelling the energy of our members into doing good work, and by reaffirming our role as a key professional networking hub for Atlantic Canadians.

East Coast proud!
MÖBIUS-1 is in Orbit! 🛰️ Introducing Canada’s first Virtual Satellite as a Service to the market. 🔥 Launched last night, 22:20:07 UTC Monday June 23, onboard SpaceX Transporter 14 mission using the Falcon 9 rocket, MÖBIUS-1 entered its Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP.) MÖBIUS-1 is the foundational step towards the eventual constellation of satellites offering end-to-end mission support through our MissionOne service, breaking the barriers of space access and observation. 💭 “With MÖBIUS-1, we’ve proven that globally competitive space infrastructure can be designed, built, and operated from right here in Atlantic Canada and this is just the beginning, MÖBIUS-1 and it’s derivatives will soon fill mission-critical gaps across sovereign defense and commercial markets.” – Arad Gharagozli, CEO This historic milestone marks a significant leap forward in Canada’s sovereign space capabilities and positions Galaxia as a national leader in satellite innovation. 🍁 Galaxia is grateful to the Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne for their contribution to the project.

CEO / Co-founder, ResolveHD. GP / Co-founder, Tidal Venture Partners. Accenture, OpenText alum. Dad x 3.
I love the spirit in the East Coast builder community! Alex Liot, founder of BIBLIOgifting (BIBLIOnomics Inc.) is doing a wonderful thing today (and maybe tomorrow if supplies last). If you're around Halifax, you should visit his popup garden store (2400 Connaught) and support Plant for Cance. It's his "other startup" and a generous passion project to support The QEII Foundation's Ride for Cancer. So go purchase some lovingly nurtured herbs, flowers and veggie seedlings and support a great founder doing a great thing!

Move your startup from Toronto or Calgary to Halifax? Are you nuts? Dr. Karen Cross of MIMOSA Diagnostics and Simon Cusack of Rafflebox Technologies brought their companies home, and they haven't looked back. It's not always easy, but these companies are thriving from Halifax. My co-host Chris Crowell and I dig into the startup journey of these entrepreneurs on the East of Montreal podcast. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e72ttxTP Apple: https://lnkd.in/e4hpQiVj #startup #entrepreneur #podcast #Halifax #EastOfMontreal
