Two Great Opportunities For Canadian Startups

To my colleagues from coast to coast in Canuck startups, I have a special invitation for you: submit your company to present at the Canada’s Hottest Companies showcase before a panel of leading investors at the Canadian Innovation Exchange conference. They want to meet Canadian innovators in new media, web services, mobile, software and hardware.

On April 29 & 30th in Toronto leading investors, public & private executives and service providers are gathering to meet our country’s most innovative entrepreneurs at CIX. The conference will feature keynotes, educational sessions, facilitated & informal networking, and the startup showcase. I’ll be there to facilitate a workshop about using the web to its full potential.

There is no cost to submit and your company will be reviewed by a selection committee of over 20 leading investors. Their top rated companies will get 10 minutes to present on stage, and a guaranteed minimum of 3 meetings. It’s a no-lose situation, and if you have a business plan it should be easy to copy and paste.

There is also going to be a StartupCamp Toronto 2 at CIX, apply there too to double your chances of presenting your startup to a room full of people that can help.

This is a great opportunity to support technology startups in Canada and that’s why I’m working with Achillies Media to help spread the word. I presented at nextMEDIA, and they tapped me to help Canadian startups find out about the opportunity. I’m passionate about startups in Canada because of the high regard I hold for innovators I’ve met across this country. I hope a lot of people apply, and tell them I sent you.

That's it. What Next?
