We are Up & Out. Female-led, startup bred, kindness fuelled.
Kelsea Gust | Founder & CEO
Our brands have boasted Top 3 Series A Rounds across Canada, and 2018 Canadian Venture Capital Deal of the Year Award.
Thriving in startup-land is a lot about who you know.
We hate that.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
So many brilliant businesses waste resources in the early stages without guidance from the industry’s whose who.
We’ve been there, and are so ready to bust the doors of that exclusive club wide open.
Our goal is to share our know-how, and help more first-time founders leap over common hurdles and take the startup world by storm.
Our
promise to you
Built to scale
Every piece of work we produce with you will consider how your business may grow and evolve. We want our work to continue to support you long after our contract is up.
Zero fluff
Don’t waste a penny of your seed funds. We know lean and scrappy, and won’t sell you on anything you don’t need or book time you don’t have.
Custom and intentional
Every company is unique, and we’ll never rinse and repeat. We craft every asset and strategy according to your business, team and goals.
People first
We’re humans working with humans. We’ll treat you and your team with kindness and respect, with the hopes of building lasting relationships.
