Raising capital and gaining traction as an early-stage venture is challenging, but the right startup competition can provide the exposure, feedback, and investor connections needed to move your business forward.
Join Accelerate Okanagan and New Ventures BC for an info session on two of BC’s top startup competitions:
The New Ventures BC Competition, offering education sessions, tailored mentorship and over $250,000 in cash and prizes
The Okanagan Angel Summit provides capital-raising mentorship and exposure to investors, with an investment of around $200k made into one venture
We’ll break down how each competition works, how they complement each other, and why participating in both can provide valuable insights, connections, and opportunities for growth.
