Atlantic Canada's virtual accelerator Propel has announced the 10 companies graduating from its most recent Traction & Growth cohort, its program designed for later-stage companies with demonstrated traction.
Traction & Growth is designed to help founders accelerate revenue, refine strategy, and prepare for their next phase of growth, the group said in a statement.
“Propel helped bring real discipline to how I was building Weevva,” said Matt Creese, Founder and CEO of Weevva, the Newfoundland and Labrador startup that helps landlords and tenants manage rentals.
“The coaching pushed me to slow down, validate my assumptions, and stay focused on the real problems Weevva’s customers are trying to solve, rather than trying to be everything at once. That clarity helped me double down on the features that truly matter.”
Propel offers programming and coaching for pre-revenue and revenue generating companies. Last year Propel celebrated its 20th year of supporting startups.
