Speakers at the event will include Jeff White, chief executive officer of NBIF; Peter Moreira of Entrevestor; and Daniel Armali, NBIF’s Vice-President of Investments.

White will provide an overview of NBIF and its perspective on current market conditions. Moreira will present findings from the 2025 Atlantic Canada Startup Data report, which tracks startup activity, funding trends and ecosystem growth across the region. Armali will discuss investment activity and developments within NBIF’s portfolio companies.

The event will conclude with a moderated question-and-answer session featuring all three speakers. Organizers said the discussion will focus on issues founders, investors and ecosystem partners should monitor in the current market.

According to the organizers, last year’s Venture Capital Outlook highlighted a tightening investment market and changing conditions in the regional startup ecosystem. This year’s event will update attendees on recent data and trends, while examining what may lie ahead for startups and investors in Atlantic Canada.

This will be the 12th year we have produced the Atlantic Canada Startup Data report, which has become the benchmark for the health of the region’s startup community.
