Here are the Startups in Propel ICT’s Fall 2017 Cohort
Atlantic Canada startup accelerator Propel ICT kicked off its fall 2017 Launch and Build accelerators last week.
Twenty-eight startups from New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Ontario are participating.
The companies will take part in 12 weeks of intensive programming, with startup experts like Dom Coryell of GimmeGrowth, pitch coach Rachael Holmes , Greg Poirier and Jon McGinley of CloudKettle, David Dufresne of Panache Ventures, and others from across Atlantic Canada and North America.
It supports entrepreneurs during the early stages of starting a technology-driven business, with focus on validating their value proposition, building and testing a minimum viable product (MVP), and gaining traction with early customers.
The Launch program will run in three cities at community partner locations – in Fredericton, New Brunswick at Planet Hatch, in Halifax, Nova Scotia at Volta and in St. John’s, NL at Common Ground.
The Build program is designed specifically for more advanced startups with market traction. Held in Moncton at Venn Innovation, Build helps companies build repeatable sales models, strengthen their teams, and create frameworks for scaling people, processes and systems.
“We are excited to see the early stage startup community across Atlantic Canada continue to strengthen,” said Trevor MacAusland, interim CEO of Propel ICT in a release. “The selected cohort includes some very strong candidates that are well positioned to take full advantage of our programming. We’re starting to see Launch startups that have early signs of revenue and Build companies with significant customer bases already in place.”
