Virtual startup accelerator Propel has announced 12 businesses joining the spring cohort of its Traction and Growth accelerator for scaling companies.
Traction and Growth is meant for startups with more developed operations than those in Propel’s earlier-stage Vision and Validation program. To be eligible, entrepreneurs must have monthly revenue and be working on their business full-time.
“This is an exciting stage for these founders, as they continue to build and shape their companies to their fullest potential, with a laser focus on the customer,” said CEO Kathryn Lockhart in a statement. “It’s terrific to see such a wide range of solutions from across Atlantic Canada.”
Like all of Propel’s programming, the Traction and Growth Accelerator is open to applicants from across Atlantic Canada. Here’s a look at the latest cohort companies:
