FAQs

WHY DO PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BECOME MEMBERS?

Our organization’s mission is to help strengthen the PropTech ecosystem in Canada, and we’ve curated our community with like minded founding members. 

Through our activities, we aim to create spaces for PropTech and Industry members to increase awareness for their businesses, meet with relevant industry partners, and access a broader network of PropTech entrepreneurs to learn and explore opportunities for collaboration. 

We aim to highlight our members across our activities – we host quarterly public events bringing together PropTechs to demo their technologies to the industry, a monthly insights newsletter that reaches ~3000 PropTech enthusiasts, highlight diverse leaders in our monthly Member Spotlights, as well as in our annual Proptech In Canada report.

We also provide access to perks including office hours with PropTech investors (Alate Partners, Groundbreak VC), experienced industry mentors and program partners (PwC Canada, BDC, Fasken, Dentons, LMRE), as well as exclusive discounts to pertinent industry groups and events like the Real Estate Forums Club and Blueprint Conference.

WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS LIKE?

As a volunteer-led organization, we’re looking to curate our community in a way where we provide value to all new members… which means that we’re growing slower and more thoughtfully, limiting the number of new members that join each month.

To ensure that everyone has a positive on-boarding and engaging experience, we have formed an internal committee made up of community members who review applications on a monthly basis, prioritizing applications from organizations who could benefit the most from joining the community given our current member base and planned events.

WHAT ARE THE APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR MEMBERS?

From a Proptech Member perspective, we’ll be prioritizing applications from Canadian companies who have a PropTech technology product built, are willing to actively participate in the community, and we believe would benefit most from our current offerings and network.

HOW DO I CHECK IF MY COMPANY ALREADY HAS A MEMBERSHIP?

Easy! Head on over to our Company Directory and check if your company already has a paid PropTech or Industry membership. If you see them listed, just email memberships@proptechcollective.com and we’ll set you up with access to your company’s membership.

WHAT ARE THE COMMUNITY NORMS? 

You can learn more about our organization’s values here – we strive to ensure that these values translate through all our activities and communications.

DOES PROPTECH COLLECTIVE OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBERSHIPS?

As we collectively respond to this global emergency, please know that if you can no longer afford a subscription to our membership, you need only send an email to memberships@proptechcollective.com and you’ll receive a free account when your subscription expires.

We don’t want money to be the reason why you can’t join the Proptech Collective, so if you’re looking to join the member community and need some additional financial support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
