No — other designated organizations can support Startup Visa applicants. But to get a letter of support from Launch Academy specifically, the only current option is via the Maple program.

Hi, my name is Sam and I'm the head of programs here at Launch Academy. So today's question comes from, again, from one of our emails talking about the Maple program. So the question is, a very good one, is asking, do I have to join the Maple program to be eligible for Startup Visa? So if you're looking just to get involved with Startup Visa and move your company over to Canada, there's actually tons of, what they're called, designated organizations that can help you. If, however, if you're looking to get a letter of support through Launch Academy, currently our only option is through the Maple program itself. So I hope that makes a lot of sense.
