Waterloo's DNA is for Builders with Jesse Rodgers

Founders Music Lab is the podcast born out of our own startup journey to build a live music space and startup incubator in Waterloo, Ontario. It is a space that supports professional and emerging musicians along with early stage startups.

Hosted by founders Bill, Steve, and Ed, each episode features a surprise guest. It could be a founder, artist, entrepreneur, educator, or first follower who is helping shape creative culture from the ground up. We talk about the parallel paths of artists and startups, the hustle, the self doubt, the breakthroughs, and what it really takes to launch something new.

Our project is about more than just great performances and pitch decks. We offer programs for people who want to connect or reconnect with music, explore their creativity, or find others doing the same. Whether you're getting back into singing after years away or trying something new for the first time, there is a place for you here. The same goes for aspiring founders who want to test an idea, grow a project, or find support among peers on a similar path.

This space is for the entire community. Whether you are a fan of live music, curious about innovation, or just looking for a good night out, you are part of what makes this work. Every great scene needs an audience. Every bold idea needs a place to land.
