Halifax startup hub Volta is looking for applicants to its first Investment Day event, which it will host in collaboration with accelerator Creative Destruction Lab Atlantic.

The event will be held at Volta’s new offices in downtown Halifax’s Armoyan Centre on Nov. 15 and will give seed-stage and Series A companies the chance to pitch to an audience of venture capitalists from outside Atlantic Canada.

Companies will deliver five- to seven-minute pitches, then decamp for one-on-one sessions with investors. To be eligible, startups must be headquartered in Atlantic Canada and be able to show traction, such as evidence of having validated their business models, as well as early adopter users or even paying customers. Applicants must also provide financial projections.

"Volta Investment Day is an event focused on bringing founders and investors together. We want investors from inside and outside our region to see what these amazing startups are building." said Volta CEO Matt Cooper in a statement.

"It's especially fitting that our first investment event in the new community-focused space is a collaboration with our partner Creative Destruction Lab, reinforcing our shared mission to support founders building massively valuable companies.”

The deadline to apply is this Friday at 11:59 p.m. Atlantic, and you can do so here.
