Oktoberfest TNT!

In Edmonton, Brandon and Cameron brought the Lederhosen, Cherry Health brought the party up from YYC, and Campio poured the beers (until 1 am!)

Rob from Laser City gave us a great idea for an outing: Laser Tag TNT! 🔫

The founder of Mover shared what it was like integrating a 20 person team into Microsoft's 150,000 person team: daunting.  

Gary V was in town, too. Somehow he ended up at a different after-party though....

Is Saskatoon is throwing larger parties than YEG right now?  

Meanwhile, Calgary had half a dozen investors on hand to enjoy Craft beers with entrepreneurs.   

We're hosting a Special Edition TNT this week in YEG: Launch Party 12 Viewing Party

Location: Second floor of the Mercer Building.  

We'll have cocktails, TVs, drinks, good times, and Swag bags.  
Special thanks to Devin Pope and The Gather Co for Hosting us

Startup TNT Guide to YEG Startup Week
 

Startup Week is brilliant. Every year the community comes together to host dozens of events, share their hard-earned startup street knowledge openly, and reconnect in a community-driven, weeklong conference.  

And it all culminates in Launch Party 12 - get your tickets!

Monday

Kick it off easy at the Startup Week Kickoff Party and then imagine your life as a startup employee with the Instagram Takeover Startup Crawl.

Tuesday

Tuesday is a serious day. Time to get real. How about real stories and real good advice from a VC, fireside chat style. Then go catch Wild ML with Adam Danylenko and friends (It tastes like chicken) before you finally admit to yourself you have absolutely no clue WTF Bitcoin actually is (and hope they explain the NFTs too!)

Wednesday

If you like humps, you're gonna love this! So many events this day!!! Meet the new accelerators setting up shop in Alberta before you meet the startups expanding shop in Alberta. Learn how to grab a VC's attention with Panache and then how to find your way right to their heart with the most well-organized Data Room they've ever met - led by your friends at Startup TNT!

Thursday

With the anticipation to Launch Party 12 exacerbating your undiagnosed ADD, you can probably only pay attention long enough to watch Startup F**k-ups with GoodLawyer. Perhaps tune in to Neurotech Alberta's discussion of Brain Computer Interfaces to see if you'll soon be able to check your slack notifications directly in your mind. Join us at the Mercer Building from 6 pm onwards to enjoy the Launch Party 12 presentation in style: with cocktails and friends (Note, our party is not part of Startup Week). 

Friday

Thought you would just sleep off your hangover all day? Wrong! You'd better wake-up for a 9:30 am discussion on raising your first Series A round! And what the hell, after an entire week of learning about our amazing startup community, why not start your own VC fund with Startup Fuel? Then go meet some of your first prospects at the Health Hub Open House.  

Enjoy the week and don't forget to vote today!

We've launched a mini-interview series! 
 
Check out the very first 5-minute Friday with none other than Lejjy Gafour, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Future Fields!

Lejjy recounts his experience at the TNT Investment Summit, Y Combinator, growing a team and the "secret" to finding and retaining top talent 👀
