about

Hi there, I'm Ken.

I'm a founding partner at Makespace and Flightpath Ventures, building startup communities and innovation spaces.

As an educator-turned-entrepreneur, I offer a unique perspective in developing founders, builders and leaders in communities. From starting my first venture as a fourth year university student, to organizing founder-led communities like Startup Edmonton, to building physical innovation hubs like Platform Calgary and Elko Engineering Garage, to shaping national initiatives like Startup Canada Communities, and mobilizing capital into cities through venture and real estate funds - I provide over 20 years of insights exploring the intersection of technology startups, talent communities and city building.

working

I speak, write and consult on the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship and community building. I often work with startup community leaders, real estate developers, economic development agencies, and university incubators.

To work on something together, book a workshop or talk, or if you have something else in mind, feel free to contact me at ken@kenbautista.com.
