We’re delighted to have received such a great response for our luncheon in Halifax today, and to have Julie Robinson, a McInnes Cooper Partner specializing in startups, joining us as moderator.

At noon today at the World Trade and Convention Centre, Entrevestor and Charcoal Marketing will host “Atlantic Canada’s Startup Industry – By The Numbers”. This luncheon, sponsored by McInnes Cooper with the support of Big Data Congress 2017, will showcase Entrevestor’s latest data on the region’s startup community.

There are still tickets left for the lunch, which you can purchase here.

We’ll outline the metrics for the region in such areas as company formation, funding, revenue and what sectors are most active. And we’ll also present our research into exits in Atlantic Canada, which we believe is the first study of its kind in Canada.

Following this presentation, Robinson will moderate a panel discussion on the data and hot topics in the startup community. Robinson is the perfect moderator for such an event, as she has been practising corporate finance and securities law for several years, and has been immersed in the startup community.

The panel will feature: Shaun MacDonald, Managing Partner of Toronto-based Extreme Venture Partners; Innovacorp President and CEO Malcolm Fraser; and Volta Labs CEO Jesse Rodgers.

This promises to be an outstanding discussion and we hope you’ll be able to join us.
