Mr. 6 Foundation · Vancouver · Startups since 2006
CONNECT
EVERY CORNER.
AT AI SPEED.
Building human connections in a world of AI.
A startup in a city no fund visits. The investor who would back it, two continents away. They never meet, and it is almost never about merit. We close that distance. Every dot below is a real startup or partner we work with, and new ones arrive every week.
Our job, in three lines
CONNECT WHAT
DISTANCE KEEPS APART.
THEN PUBLISH IT.
Capital moves along relationships, and relationships form where people already are. So a founder one language or two time zones out waits years for an introduction that costs a week inside the circle. The delay is the whole problem, and in an AI cycle a year late is not late. It is over.
So the work is connection, deliberately and at pace: put the founder, the investor and the builder in the same room, then publish the whole room where anyone can reach it. No login, no paywall, no membership, no closed door.
Every corner of the world,
at the speed AI is moving.
01
Named
Someone who is already inside a community, a language or an industry tells us who is being left out of the room. Anyone can name someone, including themselves.
02
Grouped
Each month a cohort is assembled the way an incubator assembles one: startups, investors and AI builders, mixed across markets so the people in it are genuinely useful to each other.
03
Published open
The cohort goes out as one issue: who they are, what they need, and who should reach them next. Free to read, no account, permanent.
A SMALL
ORGANISATION
WITH A LONG REACH.
We are not a fund, an accelerator or a conference. We are a small non-profit that intends to be a working part of the AI venture ecosystem rather than a commentator on it: the place a remote founder is introduced from, and the place an investor looks when the usual list has run out.
Being small is not a disadvantage here. Connections do not need scale, they need somebody who knows both sides. What they need at scale is reach, and reach is what the people who join us bring.
Small organisation.
Very large intention.
YOU CAN'T
SEARCH YOUR WAY
INTO A COMMUNITY.
Connectors are volunteers who are already inside somewhere: a language, a diaspora, a trade, a neighbourhood, an industry. They tell us who is being left out, and that is a thing no database has ever managed to do.
The network is based in Vancouver and reaches as far as the people in it do. Every connector who joins adds a city, a language, and a set of rooms no search engine has ever been inside.
They are not paid, they never sell anything, and they are nobody's sales list. What they get is their name on the record, permanently.

one person asking:
“Who should have met?”
MISS is assembled and edited by Mr. 6, a software engineer, entrepreneur and writer who has spent two decades inside the technology world, and rather longer noticing who never gets invited into it.
