ABOUT CK DHALIWAL
I’m a community-first leader who believes that sustainable growth starts with local people and practical systems. As the Executive Director of Startup TNT, I’m focused on building the infrastructure, culture, and momentum needed to support grassroots startup communities across Canada. My work is all about enabling others—co-founders, investors, and regional leads—so they can thrive. I don’t need to be the face of the movement, just the one making sure the machine runs smoothly behind the scenes. Over the years, I’ve developed a toolkit of skills spanning operations, stakeholder engagement, and public-private collaboration. Now I’m applying it to help make startup investing more accessible, founder-led innovation more visible, and Startup TNT’s model scalable across 100+ cities. I’m based in Edmonton and am always open to connecting with folks who believe in building ecosystems, supporting early-stage founders, or just want to talk shop about growing resilient brands with big missions.
