Three NB Startups in Soft Landing Program

Moncton-based support organization Venn Innovation has announced that three more New Brunswick companies will participate in the Canadian Digital Media Network’s Soft Landing program. They will be part of the spring 2016 cohort  to help forge the partnerships and connections for international expansion.

The companies are SelectBidder of Hillsborough, and RtTech Software and MASITEK, both based in Moncton.  Venn is the New Brunswick hub in CDMN and this brings to seven the number of New Brunswick companies it has helped gain international market access to since December 2014. Destination markets have included the U.K., Netherlands, U.S. and Australia.

CDMN’s Soft Landing program helps mature startups and SMEs kickstart their international growth by helping them access a foreign market. For a period of up to three months, the participating company can take up residence in a partnered facility that provides the regional support required to help grow its business, as well as receiving up to $4,000 in travel and accommodation costs.

Selectbidder Adds West Coast Client

Automotive technology company Selectbidder has signed its first auction partner on the west coast: AVDA Auction, one of the largest independent auto auctions in California. This follows deals recently signed with major independent auto auctions in Florida, Maine and Pennsylvania.

AVDA will use Selectbidder's platform to manage real-time bids between dealers for auto trade-ins. “This new technology is important to our business. Using Selectbidder will help our dealers buy and sell more cars straight from their lots because they will be dealing with us at the point of trade," said AVDA Auction owner Victor Soghomonian. "This makes the whole process faster and easier."
