BetaKit (@BetaKit) — Twitter Score 21 out of 1000

BetaKit is a Canadian technology and startup news publication that serves as an ongoing record of the country's tech ecosystem. BetaKit's Twitter Score is 21 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #46,706 (top 10%) among 486,573 tracked accounts.

BetaKit was co-founded by Sarah Prevette, Erin Bury, and Douglas Soltys as an emerging-technology publication. After a brief shutdown in early 2013, when Postmedia absorbed it into its FP Startups section, MobileSyrup founder Ian Hardy acquired the publication and relaunched it with a distinctly Canadian focus. It was subsequently spun out as BetaKit Incorporated in early 2016. Good Future later became its majority shareholder, committing capital to advance the business while BetaKit stated its editorial division would remain under independent leadership.

BetaKit covers Canadian startups, technology companies, trends, and the digital economy, and maintains a dedicated Web3 section that reports on cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins, blockchain companies, crypto regulation, and digital-asset transactions. The publication launched a Patreon membership channel in March 2021 to support and expand its editorial capabilities, noting that financial support does not guarantee coverage. Backers of BetaKit include Golden Ventures, Inovia Capital, University of Toronto, Highline Beta, Cultivator by Conexus, Lazaridis Institute, MAIN Québec, Ontario Centre of Innovation, Platform Calgary, and Startup Montréal.

BetaKit has published 35,629 posts on the platform and has 41,295 followers as of September 2026. The account has been mentioned by 189 accounts, with 697 total mentions.
