We’re delighted to announce that our second annual Entrevestor Live event will be held on the afternoon of Oct. 20, and it will be hybrid so you can attend live or online.

Showcasing some of the most successful startups in the region, we launched Entrevestor Live last year as a virtual event. This year, we are partnering with Volta, so anyone in Halifax on Oct. 20 can join us for the live event at the innovation hub’s Halifax headquarters.

If you’re not in Halifax on that date, you can still benefit from the program as we will be live-streaming it.

We will unveil the content over the coming days, but we can tell you that the Chair and Host of Entrevestor Live this year will be Kathryn Lockhart, the CEO of Propel.

A dynamic speaker and passionate champion of Atlantic Canadian startups, Lockhart’s career has included stints in Toronto, Germany and St. John’s. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School as well as a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Leadership from University of New Brunswick’s Renaissance College.

We launched Entrevestor Live last year to dispel the myth that the East Coast startup community has launched only early-stage companies. Our first event included fireside chats with the CEOs of such leading companies as CarbonCure, Meta Materials and Introhive. These were great sessions, and we’re every bit as excited about the lineup for this year’s event.

The conference is designed to maximize the time and budget of our attendees.  Its three-hour duration means you can attend without surrendering a day or more of your precious time. (People in Halifax will still benefit from a networking session after the program.) And it’s priced so that even early-stage founders can attend, either in person in Halifax or online from anywhere.

If you’re an investor, Entrevestor Live will show you what’s happening in Atlantic Canadian startups – in the most successful companies, those companies poised to join the top tier, and the emerging sectors. If you’re a founder, the program will help you understand how the best companies got where they are. Either way, this is a must-see event.

Tickets for Entrevestor Live are now on sale and available here.
