Founders' Footnotes: An Edmonton Unlimited Bookclub

​Founders & Non-Fiction Lovers — this one’s for you.

​Founders' Footnotes is Edmonton Unlimited’s quarterly book club for people curious about startups, scaling, leadership, and the ecosystems that support them. Each quarter, we’ll gather in person to discuss one non-fiction book and unpack how its ideas show up in real life—especially here in Edmonton’s startup community.

​This is not a lecture or a panel. It’s an informal, thoughtful conversation with fellow founders, operators, ecosystem builders, and lifelong learners.

​Come having read the book (or most of it, but no stress if you didn’t finish). The goal isn’t perfection; it’s perspective.

​What to Expect

• ​A relaxed, evening discussion 

• ​Facilitated prompts to kick things off

• ​Open conversation and shared reflections

• ​Connect with like-minded people

​Who It’s For

• ​Founders 

• ​Aspiring entrepreneurs

• ​Ecosystem builders & community leaders

• ​Anyone who loves the  book and good conversation

​No prior programs or experience required. Everyone is welcome.

​Our First Book

​We’re kicking things off with Good to Great by Jim Collins.

​Collins explores what separates good companies from truly great ones, and how those organizations sustain excellence over time. We’ll dig into what still holds up, what feels dated, and how the ideas translate to today’s startup environment.
