The Toronto indie SaaS scene
Toronto's indie SaaS cohort is one of North America's most consistent. The MaRS-anchored visible scene is venture-heavy, but the bootstrapped cohort beneath it is large, networked, and unusually patient with build cycles. The cohort skews technical and immigrant-founder-heavy, with strong India-Canada and Europe-Canada talent corridors.
