Steer Named to Toronto50 by Scale Up Canada

Excited to share that Steer has been named one of Toronto50's most scalable companies by Scale Up Canada.

Thank you to Scale Up Canada for the honour and for building such an incredible platform for Canadian startups.

About Toronto50 and Canada250

Toronto50 is part of Scale Up Canada's broader Canada250 program, which highlights the most scalable startups across major Canadian innovation regions, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Edmonton, and Waterloo.

The goal of Toronto50 is to showcase the strength of the Toronto region's innovation economy on a global stage, connect high-potential Canadian startups with strategic investors and customers, and help raise capital for companies building Canada-made innovation with global potential.

Why This Recognition Matters

What makes this especially exciting is the calibre of the program.

The Canada250 jury included Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 corporate VCs, venture funds from San Francisco, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Qatar, Singapore, and Seoul, angel investors from the U.S., Europe, and Asia, recently retired Fortune 500 C-suite executives, and celebrated Canadian founders with multiple unicorns between them.

Scale Up Canada has already had a major impact on the Canadian tech ecosystem, helping support hundreds of startups, drive significant capital formation, create jobs, and build global visibility for Canadian innovation.

To have Steer included in this group is incredibly exciting.

What We Are Building at Steer

At Steer, we are building relationship intelligence infrastructure for the AI era.

We help professionals and teams understand their networks, find warm introduction paths, surface relationship signals, and give AI agents better context on people and relationships.

We believe relationships are one of the most important assets in business, but most teams still manage them through scattered notes, static CRMs, disconnected tools, and memory.

Steer is building a new layer for that: a living relationship graph that helps people and AI systems understand who someone is, how people are connected, what matters, and where the strongest paths exist.

Thank You

Being recognized through Toronto50 is a big moment for us as we continue building toward that vision.

Huge thank you again to Scale Up Canada for the recognition and for supporting founders who are building ambitious Canadian companies.

We're grateful, energized, and fired up for what's ahead.
