This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot reporter Colin Gallant. Colin recommends Startup TNT: Top 6 Finale Night, where you can experience live pitches, real investments, and a celebration of Edmonton's startup ecosystem.
Startup TNT: Top 6 Finale Night
đ
Thursday, Nov. 12 6:00 PM
đ Citadel Theatre
It all comes down to this! Join us for the Startup TNT Edmonton Summit Finale â live pitches, real investments, and a celebration of Alberta's amazing startup ecosystem.
Here's what Colin had to say:
"Personally, it's gratifying to see so many of the Top 6 companies selected to pitch for at least $100,000 are ones Taproot has mentioned before. But you should go because there's something electric about investors choosing a winner (and potentially making side deals) in real time. Whether you're rooting for Aqtiva, MagnetaMR, RECON Intelligence, Rosette Robotics, Sentir Technologies, or Zylotex, you'll be inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit in the room."
