Steer had the biggest week we have ever had. We grew 1,800% week over week, becoming our strongest week to date. The number is wild, and I’m grateful for it, but what mattered most of all was not the metrics — it was meeting the people who joined and hearing, face to face, what Steer is actually doing for them.
After months of building out of the CfE, the work is starting to show: we were featured by U of T Entrepreneurship, we’ve got a new Canada VC Watch interview coming soon, and our user growth jumped roughly 300% week over week.

We are excited to share that Steer has officially joined the Innovation Boost Zone (IBZ), a startup hub focused on supporting ambitious early stage companies through mentorship, resources, and a strong founder community.
Steer finished a large review of how people use the platform, and we learned many helpful things, and the results were clear, people are meeting others faster, getting help sooner, and saving a lot of time. Over the past few months, we asked users move through the app, who they match with, what happens after a match, and how Steer fits into their day, and from this we learned that many people are reaching others they could not reach before.
Steer’s newest feature at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Entrepreneurship (CFE) felt like another step forward, and we’re grateful for it. The CFE is one of UofT’s main incubators, and since joining, things have simply moved faster for us. The space is full of helpful people, honest feedback, and other founders who are building real companies, and every client or investor we bring in notices it right away, often saying the same thing, that the environment here is special.

Waiting for the right moment to strike is what makes a good soldier ready to seize the possibilities ahead. But when's our time to strike? I'm not talking about charging into battle, I mean those everyday opportunities hiding in plain sight. Think about it, that stack of contacts on your LinkedIn, the calendar reminders pinging your phone, or the notes you wrote down about someone you met ages ago. These are goldmines waiting to be tapped. But without the right tools, they just sit there, collecting dust.
