The Barn is a group of builders in the community who look for ways to connect, grow, and support ​the community.

Our focus is on the Waterloo Region, the students (across all schools), alumni, and the people who ​have made the community a place where global tech leaders have a connection.

We are a founder-focused organization offering different ways for people to connect, learn, and ​grow.
