Propel ICT Launch and Build Companies Present at Local Demo Day
FREDERICTON–Tuesday evening, Propel ICT held local demo days in Fredericton and Charlottetown to showcase the top companies in their Launch and Build programs.
In Fredericton, five Launch companies and three Build companies pitched their ideas to an audience of their peers.
“They came into Propel with an idea. Some of them were a little further along but we developed a program that had eight bootcamps with guest speakers, six half-day sessions where we had workshops and they could actually apply some of the learning to their business and we had one-on-one sessions with mentors,” Al Sturgeon, Propel ICT entrepreneur in residence said during opening remarks. “You’re going to see twelve weeks of incredible hard work condensed into three minutes.”
Each company was given three minutes to present the idea behind their business or technology and three minutes to answer audience questions. The companies presenting in Fredericton included Smart NBS, ProvincialPack, Yimbie, ReadyPass, Garago, TotalPave, WellTrack and 360 Hockey.
Local demo days will be held in Halifax, NS and St. John’s, NL Thursday. The top 12 companies from the local demo days will go on to present at the main demo day in Halifax on June 21.
