Our final post of 2019 is a simple wish: We hope all our readers have a fantastic holiday and prosperous New Year. 

We're taking the holidays off, and we've now posted for the last time until Jan. 2 (unless something epic happens next week and we feel we have to report on it).

Each year at this time, we post this photo of our official Entrevestor Christmas Tree ornament, which our daughter Cat Adalay 3D printed several years ago. It's the only piece of Entrevestor swag we've ever produced in the eight years we've been going, and this picture is a reminder to reflect on what's happened in the past year. 

The past year has been full of highlights for the East Coast startup community, and has easily been the biggest year ever for Entrevestor.

As well as covering a busy year in news, we made our Atlantic Canada Startup Data report public for the first time, and launched our Ecosystem Roadmap. We could not have carried out these projects without the support of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Volta. They mean that Entrevestor is now not just a news site but a central hub for information on the East Coast startup communty. 

We're looking forward to another big year in 2020, for both Entrevestor and the community it covers. But first, it's time to relax for a few days and enjoy the holidays. Many thanks to all of our readers and the organizations that support our work. Talk to you in the New Year.
