Atlantic Venture Forum, an investor conference that showcases startups on the Canadian East Coast, is looking for founders to present at this year’s event June 22 and 23 at the Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax.
Applications to present at the event close tomorrow and can be found here.
Now in its fourth year, the AVF each year has allowed more than 20 companies to present before the audience, which includes a range of investors from outside the region.
The conference features two streams of presenters – early-stage and growth-stage – and chooses the best pitch from each. Last year, PACTA of Halifax won the early stage category, while the winner among the growth stage companies was HotSpot Parking of Fredericton.
