The Fundica Roadshow has announced the 10 companies that will pitch at its event in Halifax on Thursday at the Innovacorp Enterprise Centre on Summer Street.

The event will feature startups from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec, which will all have a chance to move on to the national competition. Tickets for the event are available here. 

The Fundica Roadshow holds pitching events from Halifax to Victoria, allowing a select group of early-stage innovators a chance to pitch their business to a panel of angels, VCs, banks and government organizations. All winners from the first round of pitching sessions will be invited to the Grand Finale where the top Canadian startup will receive a $1 million investment from First Stone Venture Partners. If there is a split decision, two startups will divide the prize money.

“Out of the five years we’ve been organizing the Roadshow, 2017 has by far received the best feedback by investors and entrepreneurs alike,” said Xavier Freeman, Head of Partnerships and Marketing at Fundica, “We are confident that our Halifax event will be an incredible opportunity to connect with funders and to learn how to grow your business.”
