HALIFAX–A Nova Scotia startup is one of 11 companies in North America selected to pitch Google at the company’s Demo Day in Mountain View, California.
PACTA is a software startup that has developed a proactive contract management platform. It is one of only two companies invited from Canada and was nominated by Google Tech hub network partner Notman House in Montreal.

“Being invited to pitch by Google shows that our technology is not only cutting edge, it is also solving a real problem for businesses across the globe,” said Charlotte Rydlund, PACTA co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Companies can dramatically increase their productivity and minimize risk by turning their contracts into smart contracts.”
Google Demo Day brings together a diverse group of startups from across North America to Silicon Valley to showcase their technology and meet investors and mentors. At the event, each startup has five minutes to pitch their product, followed by a brief Q&A with the judging panel. At the end of the event, judges will declare a Judges’ Favourite. The livestream audience will also vote for their favourite in the “Game Changer” award.
The entrepreneurs will also receive mentoring, feedback and support from Google employees and Silicon Valley veterans at a series of talks and workshops.
