How it's made

Step 1
Read every day
A scheduler reads startup hubs, company websites, careers pages, event calendars and news feeds, and saves what changed.
Step 2
Checked for the region
Each startup, story and event is checked to see if it belongs to Waterloo Region tech. Anything unclear waits for me to look at it.
Step 3
Fixed by the people in it
Founders can claim their startup's page and edit it. Anyone can send a correction.

Who makes it

Hi, I'm Torrin. I'm a software engineer in Waterloo, and I build Builderloo on my own, in my spare time.

I started it because I couldn't find one up to date list of who is building here. Lists went stale, and good companies stayed hard to find. So I wrote something that keeps itself current.

Builderloo was called KWBuilds until September 2026.
