Where ideas become actions.
Building and supporting ventures across Atlantic Canada and beyond.
We co-create, launch, and scale mission-aligned companies with founders and partners—combining systems thinking, product execution, and operational support.

Sidecurrent — Advisory practice
Sidecurrent is the consultancy practice of Atlas Atlantic.
We work with founders, operators, and organizations who need clear judgment, systems thinking, and practical direction — helping with strategy, systems design, and execution without a full venture build engagement.
