The Summit format is settled! Thanks to input from all of you through a fun poll run by our Ops Lead, the incredible organizational power of our
lead event planner, and some generous in-kind space donations - we're running our summits as a fully immersive experience you can enjoy equally well in person or online. It will allow us to cheer on our local entrepreneurs in person while also catching all the action from the other cities.
In YEG, we're back at
Polar Park for another retro throwback! We'll be upstairs in their cozy event space. Dave from
Election Buddy has graciously offered his meeting space to our investors for their final deliberation (and this time we asked him 3 weeks in advance rather than 3 hours :).
In YYC, we're ecstatic to announce we'll be at Calgary's new flagship event space for entrepreneurs: the
Calgary Innovation Center. Huge thanks to
Platform Calgary for working with us to make this happen!
In YXE,
Innovation Place is hosting us again in Saskatoon! And we mean really hosting us - with a 21st century stage, cocktails, and food.
In YQR, Path Co-Working is hosting a live viewing party right in downtown Regina!
Action starts at 2 pm!
We've got 2 full hours of pre-pitch activity, including a Blind Pitch competition, Pre-seed pitch decks from your hometown favorites, and a virtual lab tour of
Future Fields' new laboratory space.
Paul Singh, Founder of
Results Junkies and one of the original 3 partners at 500 startups will be joining us to share how he invests in 200 deals per year.
Pitches from across the Prairies begin at 4 pm!
YEG. YYC. SK. YEG. YYC. SK. YEG. YYC. SK.....for two and a half hours straight! Cheer on your local entrepreneurs live. Watch the other regions on the big screen. Have fun. Make Friends. Build Companies. At least 3 deals are happening on the 18th and hopefully more!
VCs are back for a pitch night of their own at 6:30 pm
Is there a better way to keep the energy and anticipation up while the Angel Investors are deliberating their final choices? How about with local and international VCs, some of whom have already invested in some of the finalists! They're always looking for more Prairie startups to add to their portfolios.
Investments Announced at 7:30 pm!
Minimum of 3 deals. Largest investor pool ever at Startup TNT. How much money will our startups raise? Stick around to pop the bubbly!
TNT continues all night long!
Or at least until they kick us out of the bar!
We can't wait to enjoy another phenomenal investment summit with entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and everyone who calls the startup community family on November 18th.
