There are just two days left to apply for the next cohort of Propel ICT, the regional IT accelerator.
The organization, whose goal is to find and support the first $1 billion tech company in Atlantic Canada, has been holding information sessions across the region to tell prospective participants about its program offerings. It wants participants to understand which program is best suited to accelerate their startup, and the outcomes they can expect to see throughout the accelerator.
The organization is (or soon will be) closing in on bringing its 200th company through its programs.
Propel ICT holds an advanced Build program in Moncton with each cohort, designed to help companies with a product to scale their businesses. It also holds its more rudimentary Launch cohorts in different cities across the region to help new companies work toward a product-market fit. So far, Launch cohorts have been held in Halifax and Fredericton with each cohort, and in other cities depending largely on the supply of companies in each place that meet its criteria. For example, in the most recent cohort, there was a program offered in Sydney, and in previous cohorts they were offered in Charlottetown and St. John’s.
The applications for the fall cohort end on Aug. 25. You can find applications and more information here.
